152nd Chorus

The edge of the tray
       is bright red –
The strawberries are crimson
       dull painted
       juicy dimensional
       indefinable silver lights
       on the knife & blade
       brass dark death
       and the tragic gloom
       inside the lull
       of the tumbled wax
       Attican and Shapely

The rim sadness aluminum
       ALCO Shipwave
       cup –

Then, in real life not
       still life – comes
       the filthy dry gray
       ash tray of butts
       and matchlet tips
