gardenia moon

she gives you the scent of spring
heavy with perfume and signal. behind
the strip mall, cigarette smoke
belittles dumpsters standing sentinel.
spill in creek call 427=9766 for info
flashes on the solar powered sign, both sides
of memorial drive. someone's gonna die
tonight, it won't be me though rain
comes hard upon dry boned land
a missile hatches

out of a dinger in a red
dress, someone somewhere's
gonna die tonight, tho cops cruise
and safety belts are worn , sirens blasted
streets fill with water, then the rains are gone
then the puddle then fey traces of water .
