Lightkeeper MAG
April 1, 2021
Let your gut wrench you, you wench
You who are caught in
ocean gales; sea storms; tempests
You who are caught there only to find warm amber shores
Take my clammy hand in yours and
Step in closer; promise me things;
drop you lips to my brow
Talking to you is all I have
Let me tell you
all the things
Let me look upon your lighthouse
Let me be your lightkeeper
And watch from you the broiling sea
