she climbs out
onto the flat stones
along the shore
in the warm oranges
of the setting sun
she shakes the saltwater
out of her long hair
with high notes
quietly she begins
her song of loneliness
fills the air
below the horizon
sinks the sun
night colours deepen
around her sorrow
stars flicker into view
her tune fades away
slipping between the waves
she is gone
