as the sun sets over bat-tossed winds

as the sun sets over bat-tossed winds
and typhoon tailing clouds disarrayed
the muddy Han gulped too fast mountain waters
blue liquid sapphire glinting in the Taichung night 
undetected across the Strait
er-hu playing sadly in the torrential rain
at the Peng-Hu crash site
ruining itself in haste
ultraviolet blinded pilot

frogs pucker and kiss the evening air
as i rest my eyes where no headlights show
snakes emerging
The Han River Estuary
dangerous turds of evening dog walkers
before the next spinning wind lines up
to pass through Taiwan customs 
like day-laborers on to the next job
unrolling tarps of advertisement
that didn't tear or fly away
