Somewhere Above The Common World Poem by Robert Rorabeck

Somewhere Above The Common World



Pallbearers of bright rubrum multiplying
In the telltale estuaries—
Lunatics of flight paths of preternatural
Fables
But not a long ways off dolphins counting
The fins of their dancing,
As they sped up punctuating caesuras
Reams of them
Blue kites cerulean tail fins—and who
Were they in love with, with the angel
Bones of goddesses in their
Bills—They knew so many tricks
And the right ways home through the carpets
Of their muse’s tears—their parents
Bringing them home what they could find
For them,
With their lunch boxes for the classrooms
Somewhere above the common world.
