    Dusty Blue

    A few months ago, while waking up, I saw a looping moving image in my head of blue pool chalk on someone's finger tips, casually walking down a wooden walkway, that's it. Eventually made this attempt at creating a little scene around it. 

    Dusty Blue

    A glistening gimlet eye, not shy.

    Looking fly, untucked flannel, wood panels.

    A ranch hand here to apprise.

    The capsize, of a pool ball, far corner pocket.

    Insouciant, buzzed focus,

    His cousin Ernie cant relinquish neurosis.

    A dim silhouetted figure leans in an open doorway.

    In the rear, no need to peer. 

    Bone colored diffused daylight. 

    By birthright, he might, with no fright.

    A hot gravel lot three blocks away.

    Thats not to say.

    The emerald green cloth awaits. 

    Dusty blue chalk dust flakes.

    Cue ball to striped, Burgundy 15 quakes.

    A smooth tap in, his compadre took it on the chin.

    The temporary czar of the bar, gold star.

    Downs a shot of auburn whiskey.

    $20 transferred onto the worn, walnut bar.

    No car.

    Ranch walks past a leaning broom out into the daylight. 

    The residual blue chalk on his fingertips are.

    Swaying to and fro. 

    Swaying to and fro.

    Hes content to be straying. 

    A look left, steps over a blotch of pink cotton candy.

    Hes feeling randy.

    May visit Sandy.

    Turns the corner.

    To the former.
