West

I wrote this at work, with the taste of yesterday's sunset still on my tongue. My first submission to Dear Buzzle.
Evening falls like a shaman's skin
shaking out that supple leather
velvet indigo mingling cream
way out west we came
chasing dreams with supplicant hands
the biting shore of reality
slippery shining indistinct
this side of heaven
