Enchantress
you beckoned to me beyond the first set of waves
raven hair trailing your back
I felt my heart crash open in the roiling deep

I could see the sea
its bottomless possibilities
she and sad, like the goddess Atargatis,
you disappeared into the billowing brine
I followed you wave after wave until the twilight held you
