Poetic form: terza rima sonnet
No. of lines: 14
Rating: Gen
Prompt:
Summary: a terza rima sonnet about an island reclaiming itself after a crime
even before evil strikes, island sands
are lifting. as death assails, as horror stills
dead air, fine grains are shifting. a boat lands.
black boots imprint, clomp-pace, stomp-trample. wills
exert themselves: measure, collect, record
as flying grit abrades, as soft dune-hills
extend themselves inland, onto floorboard,
past threshold. silt alive, hungry in reach.
inquiries conclude. departures afford
unimpeded campaign to smooth each breach,
erase each edifice, to break each frame,
to bury all. seabirds above the beach
bear witness to the canvassing, they name
it in their echoed cries: reclaim! reclaim!
