One Conceit of Collateral

Skyline exorcism on a twinkling apparatus of opal in a cloud.
Drawn into the levee mural at the cliff of the falling sandbag.

Drinking building's lollipop drip into ghetto,
but the crystal explodes out into rain
and the eaten forget beneath the spell.

The exorbitant paint restricts back on the marsh,
but overwhelming in pasty croc,
border towns drop into the drunk,
and the crawling tone above

scoops the ostriches of ostracism
by the plumes
in their lost wills
on their long, scurrying legs.

On a paper of that c-sectioned wall
the stratification of namesakes follow the letter.

Returned to no one but memorial.
Undone crucifix at the cusp of the retreating stage light
and corroded.
Then the skyline dualism regressed to graying bald.
