TROUBLE.

 

 

Trouble.

 

Macaroon sky,
white-ruffled and fluffed
like meringue pie
stirred to spoilt crumble.

 

Piebald twilight
mauve-caught and greying
like grains of rye
simmered in storm paint.

 

Mottled bleak shore
dun-dry and sleet-slaked
like stew over-stored
gale brews, trouble-laden
