Sun redness drops darkening ashes
in a fitful pillar just slightly
concave, briefly, mostly; and widens
near the base of things in torrents,
a rolling soiling massiveness
liquid in adaptability
to shape, shadowy, overhanging
abandoned fields where seeing's poor
until it spreads and lifts to glide
flimsy and flared out, petticoat
difracting the light; brightness fluttering
before disintegrating into dirt.
