BATHSHEBA OF CASSIOPEIA

By Sea Sharp

ree

She doesn’t float.

She sinks her cascading spine

down an undulating rocker of vapours.

 

Yesterday, she fermented.

Today, she foamed bubbles.

Tomorrow, she’ll be fantastically new.

 

In this uneven pool of cruel temptation,

she has a way with the Devil

and finds it easy to say nothing

and mean it.
