Moon Toys.

Moon
Toys
among these flowers.
Little
shaven
cement,
and magic street
Bourbon
pirates walk by,
Spaniard
traders
think of Edith,
bored with bags,
split
me apart
in a rainbow town
with silver lady.

There's art
on his bicycle,
singing his heart.
grampa's in heaven with a ballpeen hammer,
breaking all the mirrors.
the Raven cross stitch blondes
look up just in time.
see them smiling.
the wind
colors so very perfect.
Silver like no other,
shifting and speaking.

Artist
street
music
blowing over my head.
blues from the tavern
yells and click clack
walking whir.
Dawn closed the coffee shop
with 70's soul blast,
fast and gone.
death
in the doorway.

native dreamtown
Going on with a spiral
golden
Flash,
to
children in ancient
bags
split open.

-Will Dockery
