sirene call

by

Mike Austin


once more
at the abyss
drawing me
into its seduction
sucking me
in
with a sirene call

woman on a white horse
with pinpoint eyes

looking down
as i smell the blooming
meadow
beckoning
me
to come
to her

i fear to lose myself
as i drift
beyond
this
and a rock hits the boulder
far below
