She pondered
as she looked out onto
the wide horizon
Her heart pounded in her chest like a beating drum
As it rose to her throat
The tide pulled her back and forth
She swayed with the sea’s wind
The white dress she wore
Straggled in the wind
It flowed like the water
Of the deep
blue
waters
On her knees
she whispered
out of cold
dry
colorless
lips
Who are you?
On her back
she laid
alone
Sleep
