temptation

rescued by action arises from the hidden
source
of that action
only to return the next day
to find the sun ducking behind
some railroad ties
more or less creative disappearance
as is all phantasy
worked here when hiku runs out
of
syllables
as well as temptation to each has eaten
and clutched in one hand
the sound of that hand
clutching
gaze held for money
daze only to detour the next ray
and thrives to destruct no further depends
deep ends
