On the Beach In Sandusky
On the beach in Sandusky,
a woman collapsed to retire her body
at the edge of Lake Erie, under
the awning of a cerulean sky. The waves
reached out to heal her because I was never that kind.
She will be more useful at her resurrection
after sleep closed her lazy brown eyes.
The world had left her, I was gone 4 steps,
but my conscience ... My heart walked
through shrubs and razor bumps.
Not that I want to. I was seduced
by this cause of injury to our children. It was enough
for the world to see via social media. So, June 15th, 2009,
I became Shem and Japheth; I took a towel,
laid it across my children's shoulders,
telling them to walk leeward
and hide their mother's nakedness.
