orange light streaks
through frazzled fox palm
dancing across the street
to the tune of wind rattled fronds
and back-alley burlesque beats
phantoms rattle in ¾ time
outnumbering the sober
their bodies buried and
rotting
like the captain’s floor
we all tripped over
uneven sidewalks
that carry whispered promises
and low calls and high heels
mama says town
is dead on tuesday
im not sure i believe
sky’s closer here
or maybe earth is
just
farther away

Most of the lines came to me while I was walking the streets, seeing or hearing the very things I ended up trying to write about. I think it ended up being more the town than me, that made the piece. That old drinking town has a lot to offer.

But yes, I don't say that to a lot of people, but I really like this poem alot. (And I'm really picky about poetry.
