Dayflower MQ3-54ᵘ (Whitewater Bay Part. II)
I found the Dayflower
at Whitewater Bay,
after the fire had
melted everything away
It was sitting there:
bright lavender and new,
and then it hummed
with a ghostly hue
I knelt as one does
for the dead,
and I reached out
with a slow dread
And that is when I
realized that the blue
was not left by you,
but by me,
That you are the grey
and that I am the sea—
You were nothing but a mirage,
a phantom face on an ethereal screen,
and now I know
that you were only looking for static,
with the sad girl living in an attic
I sat there for a very long time,
listening to the waves whine,
the Dayflower by my side,
And waited to become something divine
The sea-foam swallowed me up
and I began to climb into the sky
If Sylvia could rise,
so will I.

I am taken by this- it is beautifully written. I love to invoke Sylvia Plath in my poetry as well!
