Lighthouse

Nepotism amongst angels clamoring for birthright
Like a truth undulating along with the mirage
Is sacrosanct falsehood with millipede legs 

If it has legs, give it legs and you'll get a leg up, they say
Halo again sprouts gilded thorns,
Cosmic explosives rigged to psychic abutments

Disintegrate hibiscus petals continents away
If bristling love is only hair on back of necks
What of the permafrost on the other side of the bridge?

Languishing devils once thrived in the night Now they seek succor while camouflaged From those amaurotic men who beg

Searching for clues in a seraph's meager pay
Each has to mind the moon that mourns
Each has to make his own adjustments

Take the ferry out past the bay
Disembark to swim with sharks and wrecks
Let brine and all flood past the alveolar ridge
