The Ocean
August 23, 2011
The babies bones burn
as the trunk of the tree
collapses in a haze
of wheat, molasses, and mold,
screaming the whole way thru
the town where
mice and men and
sinners and saints
dive in the ocean
where father's fleet paints
a mural of a dune called
Amazing grace, I once was lost,
But the roar of the lion was faint
and the grains of rice
poured from the sky
like ground-up oceans
shattered like a porcelain doll
writhing like an injured beast,
Silent
But
Sweet
