BEACH
i dreamed myself
lovely
as a woman i saw
on the beach
and every step
i took
was a holy
incantation,
and the gods
heard my
every prayer,
and the wind
mussed my hair
and i swear,
even that
was perfect

Author's Note
Inspired by the Reincarnation comp, but then i fell short of the 200 word minimum.
Women -- idealized, sometimes objectified -- but most often the catalyst of desire, change, obsession, and movement in my life. If reincarnation is the way, I'll likely return as one.

I love the way you portrayed the rebirth as someone both ethereal and powerful; very Helenistic.
That the gods would hear you, and as an incantation, men would venerate you, and even the wind would dress you.
Great shit!
