As I stumbled along the beach
If you can call it a beach
Too rocky and thick
But the rocks
Steel gray
Dark green
Pale blue
Dull gold
Milky white
Coal black
And deep red
Are still beautiful
As I walked on the rocky beach
Amongst the sandy driftwood
Clay and bones
The mountains turned pink with lust
For the golden sun
And the buildings on Camano
Shone in Her like fire
I watched the moon rise silently
And the golden fingers of the Sun creep back towards the horizon
I remembered the night when I got hit my a firework
And the embers merged with my skin and seared me
While the fireworks exploded in halos around your head
And you stared at me
I don't think the embers ever left my chest
