Rogue Apostle
by Mary Jane Nealon
ISBN: 1-884800-31-9 |
THE SHIP UNDER THE FOOT OF THE ELEPHANT This thick-skinned toe scraping. This cool cool water splashing upside down. Breath, once so unconsciously available, hides now in the shadow of the foot. This moment of slow sinking into the waves, this steady forcing down into green: some panic, some music from the band and the long soft hand of the nurse who adjusts the morphine drip, just enough, just to ease the weight of the elephant and expand the idea of where the ship might go. |
