Fire & Ice at Graziano’s
He tumbles from the deep
gurgle of an idling chariot,
slinks away into the balmy
blue of night with a shimmy;
all shuffle and spin as he
turns on a dime, pops the
air & slides on over—
like it’s show time in Vegas
under the din of light.
Tonight he will drink alone;
torpid dreams of shadow dancing
over a blood speckled canvas.
