Poem: Ever Umber

A storm is brewing,

overhead, the rumble of thunder,

smoky-brown clouds.

A woman with long dark tresses

scent of sandalwood and wild apple,

barefoot, dances and twirls

with arms reaching out

kicking up dirt and havoc.

Her umber dress

flailing in the wind

like a tattered sail.

She is more than wildflower 

and soft honey.

One more turn, one last glance

towards the village

mired in rot and decay

as she eyes the abyss,

a meandering path 

ever cloaked in mystery.
