milk, and a sunset

 

ontological and neo-hedonistic
pyres
at the edge of seawash

 

the pier aflame billows gray
           mix ash into salt
           is, oh, it's water colored...
milk stained
the pyre leaks
warm ash milk
lactate of death
on the pier

 

as the sun swatters
it breaks through line
bends curve
           and space, the sun glowers
           before the line snaps

 

this salt milk
becomes pink foam
