The Small Light

Naomi Rhema Edwards - convexexile@yahoo.com

The Small Light

White feet in low tides
Beheaded by light
Salt-withered

And will we ever see
That cloudy man o' war
Take the shallows?

Mussels clasp rubble
A plastic fork snared
In red algae

We laugh at wet skin
Tinged by spreading dusk
The purple of guts

A small and burning light
That we only see later
From the balcony

We say, look at those kids
Chasing the last waves
Before the still night
