Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
                                             Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them,β€”ding-dong, bell.

a sky without birds

first there is silence.
light ceases to bend
clouds grow heavy
stars sigh
and insects with iridescent wings
cover the earth

eyes as oracles
wings as half-furled flowers
froglike
tigerlike
breathless
soft acrobats unfold

many suns have passed
since we fell to earth.
grass becomes cold
light shivers around dry leaves
and I forget what it was like
to be armorless

her words
wrapped around me
while the others slept
i walked on air
wondered in the grass
under violet clouds
imagined i was a girl from a story
oblivious to the danger
