Return Of The Native

hurricane windswept marsh
a road leading to the sea
a landmark for defeat

ghost waltz fishing camps
her prescense and her delta eyes
stained glass misery

abandoned boats drift by
stillness and debris
security light
a cheap facade
white heat, and misery

twisted trail of fire
i'm losing you to your desires
in rooms with ocean views
a family in peril
broken destroyed within
parades, and worn concrete

rusted oak and dragonfly
a masquerade ball, a mardi gras mask
a cheap facade
white heat and misery
