The Ones Before
by Asena Lourenco

Red flowed down her iridescent skin,
As she concealed the villain that was hidden within,
She strode with confidence upon the rock,
As the curls of the cliffs started to talk,
They whispered her name which she would never reveal,
They whispered the feelings that she did once feel,
They whispered the language of before,
They whispered to her on what used to be the shore,
Secrets poured out like a river of blood,
Onto where long ago, there was the great flood,
The rocks underneath splitting with thirst,
As they can remember who was there first
