Ruby Red Lips

Yellow mango

flesh perched

on ruby red lips,

her elbow

propped on the

bar, watching

the leaving

ships,

News crackles

of a major hurricane,

tourist are

leavin

locals are

stayin

When the

surge subsided,

far inland it

reached

her body

was found

washed up

on the beach

the seas dead calm

the wind's mouth

zipped.

They knew it

was her by her

ruby red lips.
