Stacks of chimneys,
graze lurid amber
cockleshell clouds,
shrouding the day
echoing the break.
Purple wire-strung
lazy sun, setting in haze,
emblazoned on the sky.
In the wake of tram-lines
from airplane trails,
a script is written -
unfurling plot in images
lost in the river’s rage.
Trees shake as charnel smoke
flays quivering leaves,
groping for meaning
in a world bereaved,
with the last gasps of reason.
