(draft)
The dancing people lay waiting:
Dreaming of the waves,
And diamonds,
Cast across the sand.
.
A curtain call of phantoms,
Ghosts of the full moon,
Leave footprints
For the sun to feast on.
.
The bridge is long,
Steady and sure,
Crossing nothing
But the arc of blue sky,
Where the reach of time
Scatters the ashes of remorse.
