Mastodon Oakland - Marc Olmsted - Poetry - Sensitive Skin Magazine

Oakland

Ocean fog thick in the avenue night
white Christmas lights in October
Shamrock Arms Bar
glowing green & red
through clear quartz-glass block front
the Dead Sailor Girls will play tomorrow
salt taste in air
where I’m a lost spirit
gliding over the rain-sheen streets
empty of cars & people
