Magnolia || Two

Placental reef, birthing over and over
the white teeth, you have found the mouth
of the bad ocean, the iron plate preacher
growling at its daily, nightly, lunar labor.
Sailing in sea breezes a spring step up
the heart of flame, a single fisted
fighter dared to touch us fiercely,
a pieman with a golden-brown face
declaring that his circle, in the center
of iron sea on iron salt sabers,
that these gathered would be warm, well fed, friends.
