It took her
what seemed like a
long time to recover
her senses as she
peered at the beach
which lead immediately
to the forest intersperced
with tall coconut palms
bending in the wind their
blades cracking clattering
clacking: she walked above
the high-water mark the ground
was level forming an upper shelf
before the start of the forest:
she kept stepping on crabs their
shells squashed splashed wetly
under her tennis shoes: each
time that happened her skin
shivered her mind began making
images in the moon-shadowed trees:
walking this way and that she
intently watched the great giant
darkish walls of the forest: her
ears straining to hear any sound at all.
