Where Strange Tigers Roam

Strange tigers roam here
and the sky is a cauldron
a swirling dusk of sunset
and leaning trees in sad blue
the city streets are dirt here
every tv an antique
brown people sweating
with hats and confusions grin
This hammock is an island
with a sea of warm and watery beer
while the cauldron pours itself onto
the white and dirty balcony
the monkeys sit in dream gazes
just another in this swirling dusk
of cigarrettes and blue and leaning trees
just another holding on in this place....
where strange tigers roam.

doug, that first verse is genuinely stunning! What a beautifully descriptive piece.
Parts of this poem seem like a description of a sepia-toned photograph. And other
times it has the feel of a fantasy filled dream. Whatever the case, your descriptions
are impeccable. As always.
