Picture by Bill
On a clear day the lighthouse stands like a phallus
along the rocky shore shining a dim light in the sunlight
but on a foggy day that same light cuts through
that vaporous mist and marks the shore
for boats who have wandered from their course
same said for the stormy nights
with waves crashing and tossing their craft about
the white light penetrates the darkness
to keep the boats safe from the rocks up ahead
the prism atop the lone tower magnifies the beam
to sun like radiance sending it across the sea
to lead the sailors safely back home
after the danger passes.
