Candescent crescent shines high over the seascape of Embarcadero
Highlighting the disembarked war ships and whispering tide
Enlightening the rock-strewn shoreline jagged and wide
Candescent crescent slivers the star-spangled September sky
It accompanies my stroll through the village at night
Candescent crescent hangs low over the townscape of Cape Coral
Dismembering the demoralized like The Pit and the Pendulum
Decapitating their luck-starved storylines sooner than scheduled
Candescent crescent slices the sun-strangled June conundrum
It injects my dreams with luminous venom
