Soon To Sleep -- In memorium
by Leslie Ann Eisenberg
My prism dims now. Crimson tulips drain to gray. The orange has no bitter tang. Everything tastes the same. The sun sinks, light rays like crab legs spread to the waterÂ’s edge. I sink in, grain by grain. The black, black, blackest moon-pulled waves call me home. Submerged, I tangle with blue fish and kelp. Promise to tell my story before I wash out with the tide, and I will surrender. Ink my wisdom inside waterproof books, so my children will remember.
