Poems - Candy Stripe Dreams - 4: It could be dusk, it could be dawn

Candy Stripe Dreams - 4: It could be dusk, it could be dawn

by Ramonez

It could be dusk, it could be dawn;
the sky’s the same old colour of smog,
here and there dark clouds pull faces –
they make silver-lipped yawns.

It could be dusk, it could be dawn;
factory towers smash the skyline
(badly assembled limbs of smashed stick figures) –
they smoke and scorn.

It could be dusk, it could be dawn;
the breeze carries a fresh taste of motor oil,
dirty rainbows pirouette on airstreams
that taste like burnt popcorn.

It could be dusk, it could be dawn;
nobody’s got time to smile anymore,
permanent bowties between our eyes,
souls truly worn.
