Venice, Ca

turn my back on the sunset
only to be confronted by the moon
by the glow of a dying light
reflected on mirrored eyes
the faces of minarets
rows of brick and cinder
ribs filled with starlight
entertain the coming dusk
tidy hurricanes whip across the sand
furnishing the seagulls with nervous tendencies
gold tassels dance chipperly along her shifting balance
copper tones and silken curves
annihilate common sense and chivalry
smoke strings itself through the windows crease
wisps along the senses trail
ignites some mid-summer afternoon ideas
here, in the dead calm of winter

Nice metaphor here... Perhaps the sunset, which will invariably succumb to sunrise, has more to offer... It's all a matter of choice, isn't it?...

I remember Venice,
and you've made me homesick...
just a little...
