Section IV:
sea salt streaks
raven tresses,
your pale skin,
over your deep lips
the distance, the castle
on cloudy rocks
the angry sea
you press into wet sand,
sea billowing your skirts
freezing your exposed thighs
pray they cannot see you
still as if one dead
as the light fades into darkness,
smile against the sand,
sea slipping over sharpened teeth,
you remember
is no one left
pray to anymore.

decaying
pushed back
lights
into the night
many bones
fallen giants
in dust
hole torn
the darkness, black
in light,
monsters once lived,
eyes illuminating
boards
seas
echo, sullen cries
sky brightens
