Refuge from the Storm
December 17, 2021
Summited by Sarah Poggi
Clawing like an animal who has an expanding appetite.
Searching for refuge in the lighthouse who stood like a jagged skyscraper;
It carried the smell of hygienic frost and wired circuits,
‘Twas a silent war song,
except,
for the electric hum of the wind roaring by.
No paper script could find the words to say,
as I saw my boat get taken over by a surge of water.
My imagination:
left to visualize it drowning,
in a swirling masquerade.
Watching the horror pass the view of my eyes,
and looking at the world
from a different angle.
