About Colorengas ' celestial phenomenon ' a redenga by an'ya and Mary Angela Nangini Oregon and Brampton - August, 2001 sailor's warning red sunrise at the end of the dock on my way to the beach a burning bush ten fire ants carry one morsel into their anthill dead of winter no crumbs for the cardinal morning after a black widow's mate no longer in her web cyberspace wars' Mayday a worm a virus a code spring fever yet still spotted with chicken pox my garnet pendant studded with diamonds French rosebud hanging from its broken stem Freeport shark attack mangled leg amputated outside the hen house two cocks fight comb to comb beyond our galaxy a supernova |
