The cherubim spreads its sticky webbed wings
Casting shadows on the sailing crew.
But the sun was not behind it;
Darkness leaped forward, blinded.
A flaky blemish scraped off
Into pools of paralyzed swimmers.
Fire leaked or seeped, rather,
and it was a swollen tungsten bulb that broke the bell.
Winter made its presence known,
All that wasn’t burning singed cold.
The heat moved ahead quickly to regress and again.
Hysteria invokes the electric dance
A stark glaze, the eyes overcast.
The rain arcs the rainbow’s path splash.
