umbrellas shading Fog
Cutters and her promise
that it wasn’t the alcohol,
she got me numb enough
to fill my beer with orange
slices pronouncing me sand
to her waves till the red tide
brought in gull carcasses
sealing the fates of fuck me
forever dreams with kisses
parched by a jilted July moon
jealous enough to smother
the living shit out of the sun.

as his fist crashed against my head.
