around the corpse
swarm of scarabs
dust to dust…
the blue of her ghost
fogs the horizon

Wow—you have been busy, Rowan. I think I’ve had about three published during July! (My excuse is that I was backpacking in Europe for most of the month 🙂)

thousands of tiny shells
run back to the sea
Best wishes for the rest of the summer.
