West Coast

Sunset hills ablaze, crackling with the vitality of dancers and magicians; 
A sudden outpouring of the lifeblood of angry, eager men 
Gushes into pristine streets and introduces a new brand of scalding decay-
Everything is screeching, yelping, flailing; dying wildly,
And a desperate, fleeting look can kill;
Nothing is breathing but everything is writhing - awake, and alive!
And everything is twisted
And the sea sparkles, and the sea shines like a perfect grotesque mirror.
