Valparaiso in the morning

the title explains the poem.

sheets of milky mist caress down the steep, winding hills.

decrepit seafront homes are inhabited by 18th century ghosts.

A lonely cigarette but dances down a side street with the help of a gust of sea breeze.

Seagulls in congress talking about the night before.

A pack of street dogs eating breakfast together in a desolate square.

Mildew collects on top of an empty beer can.

                                                                       Valparaiso in the morning!
