The shore recedes and tremors draw
in the tide on virgin sands.
Hesitant waves break and withdraw
virgin armies without plans.
Stark and stained, virgin dreams are born,
changeling child of sea and shore.
Soft suffused, virgin light of dawn
washes over them once more.
Sunlight chasing crests of waking
waves burn virgin white.
Sails a flaming! Masts a breaking!
Now fear the tremulous light.
Flee! A virgin shadow's rising.
Murderous is her embrace.
Neither shore nor children playing
can hold her wrath in place.
Stripped and flayed, virgin dreams are torn
and tossed across sea and shore.
Black and grey, virgin griefs are born,
washing over them once more.
The shore recedes and tremors draw
in a virgin fear on sands.
Repentant waves seek and withdraw
virgin wraiths from haunted lands.
