Left perched upon a parapet, this mortuary mine.
I weep Poseidon’s saline tears, ‘neath a somber scudding sky.
As moisture inundated clouds, exhale Sedna’s plankton perfumed breath.
And agitated arctic gales, pass o’re her frozen lips.
Left anchored in abandon, aloft this landlocked margin of death.
Inflicted fallen fortress turned, skeletal black crows nest.

Posted for Girlie on the Edge’s Blog Six Sentence Story, cue word Perch.
Following Clark’s lead from a couple of weeks back and taking a poetic turn on the prompt, I made what I consider much better use of a line idea I first used in another poem I called Despised Conundrum.
Thru Violet's Lentz 
interesting word choices and salt-laden dank images, love the poem. 🙂
