Coastline Reverie

Without holding schemes,

drowned in wayfaring,

roving down coasts,

realms blurred by streak of red and yellow,

pulse of blue,

kindling fire in lungs.

Cigarettes charred like fleeting pledges.

Suspended in Portland,

stalled in Port Angeles,

lingered in La Push,

stationed canopies in sand,

ocean voicelessness, murky arcanum at back.

when effulgence crept high,

galloping,

restive cores,

coveting Nox,

besotted demons,

upper devils,

cachinnation,

guffawing with knives,

scathing through air.

Clambering jagged stones,

aqua chaws on feet,

hearts thrumming to cadence of chaos,

cold-blooded billows swallowed overall,

over and over.

Nights flavored with liberty,

unknow possessor

darkly convivial.
