Prudhoe Bay

Adam, I think thats checkmate. Your stopwatch is lagging, stop throwing around your weight. look at all that you've done, staring at the sun.

Prudhoe Bay: 

O night sky - extirpated by my apricot flambeau.

Your whistling owl-call smothered by its soot, 

curling your vapour into a swollen spiral. 

A put-forth maim for the duskiness. 

Echoed out from the red moon 

to the shores of  Prudhoe Bay. 

Crisp is your air - the hairline of the stars

hang down like beautiful vines,

but your cocoon of mystique is dismaying. 

Its a hurdle for me, O night sky.

I slept on it during the daytime, 

your inevitable death -- for in three hours 

  -- the blossom of sunshine. 

Author's Note

this will put a hole in your skull.
