Setting of first part of prose poem 'Scenes' by Pikes Peak Region Poet Laureate Aaron Anstett.
1. Against the lingerie-color sunset,
orange and pink and filmy as a negligee, two dogs fight in a liquor store parking lot, mouths on throats, blood an inkling in the neon advertising bargains on imports. Their long shadows go slo-mo in the skittering gravel and spin under dust’s little weather systems. Customers seem to glow, sidling past then leaving with purchases.
