The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!
Blues Song
by Amy Zoellers
And the Gray Lady cries
from her grave
cries beyond it,
moonbathed
inconsolable
lover of night.
Discarded
for spectacularity
for being stardust
opting
to throw herself away.
Sophia,
beloved of the night,
cries her twinklings
of precious stones
precious moans,
Gray-clad groans.
She finds her medicine
in passersby –
long drinks of strange music
draughts of sunlit, dallying peace
and drains away at last
their precious
sanity.
