Ways changing stoplights refract through rainy winshields and smear

Downtowns black & white corduroy trolley lights
bursting fourth of ramparts essence
lit up the evening rip tide sky;
burgundy in memory,

brooding in depth.
illuminating a grey rippled cloud,
collected in a coin purse party nose powder pause,
shaped from symmetrical symmetry laboratory glass bell cages;

a letter "E" seagull.
faded in the dawning distance
from the country highway qualm
reminded of a royal purple lavished love

you instilled in me
from a private window sill
nestled in the view
of a foggy mountain forest in Japan.
