The Psychedelic Sunset

A burst of color before the darkness

Red earth flora



An artisan selling pipes

what's the nature of this

passing scene?

The psychedelic sun also rises

a trip room in broad daylight

 

I chatted up a kind fellow with some bud

we discussed entheogens and the like

my experience and study was extensive

and nostalgically long ago

 A t home I encountered

anew shower curtain

for Easter week

 An eerie contrast in light

when I went outside again

after supper

 

A cherished motif and subject

the antiquated walls of

Union Machine Works

Moving on but
you can't scare me

I'm sticking to the union



Repurposed metal works
at crespuscule

Approaching sundown

the evening train

thunders this way

Three spines with rib gages

inchoate faces

came toward me in the sky

 

Things rapidly

transformed

  the extra-planet effect

Shipside splendor

 

Some people look at the beauty

of a sunset sky

acknowledge it rationally

and want to go

Others of us stand transfixed

in an aesthetic state

brushstrokes of momentary color

 intimate immortality

Infrared flowers

in the most oblique light

calling me home
