Night Sky

Topics: classic

I can call a lake a kettle     a splendid, ivory comb a snare    -     tiny feet cataclysms off a mountain.     the night sky my ariel home.     Nothing matters with my heart at my ribs     a collarbone of doubt     inching into my anatomy     Everest-wide.     surging canals into my throat.     I am a pianist plying my trade     playing to waves    -     the wharf and pier     passionate onlookers     entranced with joy.     sailors wearing blond caps     in stout approval     their tall ships wavy as decorative pins.     smashed bottles accumulated days at sea     lapping the dock.
