Lady Cliff and the Sea Sky

Lady Cliff and the Sea Sky

A Poem by Haley Smith

There.
Do you see that there?
The small wolf by the
jagged cliff.
The booming clouds overhead,
unsettling, like they could
swallow you and
snag you up into their
sinister journey.

The rays play red rover,
fighting to break through
the black, but I only see
a speck of white.

There.
Do you see her face?
Etched in that
craggy,
stepchild mountain.
Her neck has 
wilted to the side.
Her eyes like two
immaculate ruins of
one bomb, two 
bombs. Just black, black,
but though there is nothing,
you feel
it. The fear, the frenzy.
You hear it too.

Sharp, sharp as a knife,
your neck turns when 
you hear a 
shriek in the distance.
But the wolf is long gone
and the gray pierces
your sight.

She's here.
With her wolf,
her sky,
her home in the
rock.
