Night-Stained

 

 

Night-Stained.

 

They say

Roan red twilight,
night-stained and greying
like dough-bread rye
drenched in mayonnaise

will create

Blackberry sky,
dark-ruffled and fluffed
like meringue pie
cut while wearing gloves

and when 

Wind beaten cloud, 
becomes pearl-hue slaked
like milk turned sour
means storm on the way.

They say.
