Poetry Saint Lapis

[Hannah Capps]

Inside tank—metallic green,
Daisy, mine, rescued me.
Devour-deluge.
Debase-replaced.
Much was discovered.
Lies uncovered.
Phoebe’s fin,
Forged within.
Elders gone.
Questions bled.
Negligent.
Nigh unfed.
Across land,
Sea and sky.
Inside you-found I.
Chosen not,
Sometimes found.
Aged void,
Left to drown.
Desert search,
Hapless hurt.
Cooper kind,
Caring father.
Fight to find,
Siren’s daughter.
