Siren

I scattered myself  --
Fragments thrown a little here and little there
Ashes in the wind
Shaping bellowing swirls and tumultuous twirls

Desolate come sundown
This moon is hidden; though alive and luminous
Intermittent whispers shadow the air
Sometimes a song, sometimes a howl

The death of Hope and all colourful dreams

Colourless forests
Echoing silence
The odd wind will blow
Carrying with it, my voice

A siren calling, calling, and calling

Lurking the unbridled coppice
Draped in onyx lace, head to toe
Sheen under moonlit kisses

Her voice carries -- out into the prairie outside.
