Calypso
Wrote this last October at the Valentin Imperial Maya but posted elsewhere.

She dances
as though The Sea
were within her.
Calypso calls,
And she responds.
A song and a thrum
Beating at the edges
Of most mortal reckoning.
Yet to her,
The surge and retreat
Is the call
Of an insistent lover.
Rising to meet the rhythm,
She makes it her own.
Queen.
Monarch
Of a court
In elemental sway.
