i actually wrote this the other day, thinking about being a lighthouse keeper...how weird is that?

island keeper

black water

crashes
around me
like moses i stand
stone platform
out of the depths
caught between liquid and night

slicker alive in the wind
wet slap
staccato against my legs

for one absurd moment
i imagine myself a god
throwing my arms to the sky

stirring the storm

leaping
in yellow light,
my shadow
thrown onto brutal rock
mocks my power

i turn away sharply
my back to the churning sea
inhale the mist
and the salt

stride through the great wooden doors.
i
hold the ocean.
