Her eyes are the lighthouse of the Pharos,
Alexandrian, bronze-mirrored fire flung round
The gloaming coastal sorrow like sand-glittered spears.
Her praying mantis limbs of light,
Sever-poised for needlepoint strike
At the jeweled glint of wings in dim, rare-seen limits,
Now one with her rasping sea of scarab beetle husks.
One day, many years from now…
We’ll move to Cape Cod…
And maybe by a cow…
We’ll by an old house…
And maybe an old truck…
We’ll open up a store…
And try to earn a buck…
The store will stay open…
