"dusk of des moines"

slip slide
cruise fluid
blues groove
soothes
smooth
a.m. radio

i appear
aptly animated
at three
hundred
sixty
degrees
complete

capital dome
glows gold
gold glows;
dusk of
des moines

huddled horde
of hugeness
huddled horde
hiding  light
In the midst of

downtown

let the river flow
flow
twin rivers flow
out of control

red sign
reveals
jesus saves
will he save
save
will he save
you?
