The fresh streams ran by her, and murmured her moans. Sing willow, willow, willow Her salt tears fell from her and softened the stones. From Othello by Shakespeare ![]() The wind saw her rise from the fragments of a fallen star. She rose into the sky - a shadow glittering like sun sparkles upon the lake. She ascended into the cool expanse, a voice chanting with the soft, plaintive pitch Of Desdemona’s willow song.. Her luminous wings grew like wild ferns against the gray driftwood of clouds- sprouting, spreading until the shimmering fibers dissolved into space. Then she was gone; and no one knew that she had come except the wind blowing from the mushroom caves and clam shells sucking on wet slices of sand. They had seen the death of a shooting star and its maidenly spirit dispersing the glimmer of a burnt-out myth. |
