deepest dark…
there’s your light
guiding me back
foghorn
I run up the lighthouse
two stairs at a time
keepers
of the language of fog
extinct
summer breezes –
the ship that never
returned to port
ever alight
a wanderer’s guiding star
mother’s love
long-standing
amidst the sky and the earth
i face the tide
onshore breeze
the spotless white
of the deck
sea storm
a feather’s shine
on the dry sand
Mirela Brăilean
România
lighthouse …
how i missed you
in quarantine
beam me up
to the intermittant moon scape
transvergence
