Description Twilight in the basin

a tangerine and cotton candy sky

it's the chemicals that made it so

beautiful and gasping for life

asthmatic children wake up and play



It's night in the basin

stars appear in vertical columns

shadows pass; flicker and dance

below people are in tin boxes and rubber soles

bouncing on the cold granite ground



Within this basin

in the tangerine clouds and star towers

there is a city of angels

wearing flip-flops and drinking coke

singing dreams and coughing up nightmares

until the city ignites into a cleansing flame

oh LA! you're beautiful. I liked this. Especially your description of skyscrapers as star towers. It's like a vision a stranger to this time would have if he were floating over a street. very beautiful. well done!
