“Deep beneath the waves, white-winged birds of May
Run from hollow hills, walk into the night.”

Her pale face is voided antiquity, a paper-thin line fallen fresh from flowery fallacy to hardwood floor, coiled cold & blue in landing; words, like little droplets of April rain, a distant deluge of drought parsing orange Hemerocallis petals trenching around her. To see it unfold. Bent at the altar, Spring’s forgotten daughter can’t.
