Spirits

haunted, moon’s on the cliff, orchestrating the waves — she studies them. did you know the water turns green, the thunderclaps like cymbals? shroud hangs like a towel over her right arm, bare feet long to jump — to fall, be wild with the wind. tangled greenbrier hair, she’s a Magdalene figure, with archaic spirits that dare her to fling herself into the jet stream. the tiniest voice freezes her like a statue. the rain melts her gaze. she blinks; the spell dispelled. she nearly slips as if tangled in seaweed, her fingers claw the wet wall, she weeps. falls asleep just outside danger, dreams a dream — a waterfall, tears rush forth in colorful tones. suddenly... a stranger in the thicket... one day after sorrows... she’s being dunked in the water... reborn in the sunlight… 11/16/2020
