In Moonlight

1.

Entering
in bright moonlight
late
one night
she struggled through the shafts:
several inches of cold water lay on the bottom
of the horizontal tunnel.

2.

She could smell
oxygen which meant that the water was fresh:
the tunnel almost seemed
too narrow
for turning around.

3.

She stopped every now and then to listen,
heard nothing.

4.

Suddenly there was a strange sound.  It
was like wind whistling over the
peaks of high mountains,
or the sound of a geyser minutes
before it erupts:  or her entering into moonlight.
