Lighthouse Grief by Nicole AssenzaOh, the awe
The spinning world inspires;
The world that everyones
A dizzy player on
Im just discovering my
Vertebral columns
Shedding fear-skins all over
I voice a tinny tune
Thats banging off
In far off places
Going from butter to beautiful
The sun forgives me
Of all my great indoor sins
Sluices off the imagined maggots
But, dont forget to bite
With the sunny prognosis,
For surgery without scars
Theres your lingering kindness
Of an unused scalpel
Cold and loved enough
To shock away time
And shake away faith
Of a reluctant outpatient
Whose black bird pie
Turned into baked Alaska
Theres a palm tree shadow
Somewhere
With her name on it
Try your hand at lighthouse grief
What thoughtful, searching tendrils
Burn away at the sunrise
Thats one more shipwreck
Dividing up attention
Extemporaneous trill
Yet the idea has merit
A melting candle of a voice
Goes on through the ages
Dripping memories all over
Oh, the awe
The spinning world inspires
The world that everyones
A dizzy player on
Im just discovering my
