When the Lobster Plays Grand Piano

Dragging our lobster claw 
haphazardly across rows of ivory song
scratching both beautiful and hideous notes 
throughout our lives-somehow, we stayed afloat-

Racing the foaming mouth of death.
Polishing up melodies of opaque regrets...
High tide, swallowing a lobster claw
and a grand piano bench.
