Black Lotus

I allotted a little
on a rainy day
there was bound to be
another one soon

Tropical Storm Tyranny
coasts, shoreline,
lighthouse, porthole
Can't see, dark wave

Hello
briefly
Goodbye
lighthouse

Out the window
onto the door
floating
to danger

the movie Titanic
but quieter, simpler
no women or children
to save

No boat
that was unfortunate
the sale was set
for last Thursday
