Lava of my youth
Cools,
Breaks brine surface.
You haul your
Scale tail
Onto rock,
Produce mirror
And comb somehow
And sing;
Lighthouse *******
Flashing,
Lure street urchins
To doom.
Holed hulls, wooden,
Br'ken masts
And skeletons,
You immortalise them all;
Evolving starfish
A coral girdling
Your navel
