You have arrived at StarPoet, a comet falling toward morning. The poet's still here, Sappho's child, slightly disheveled.

The Unburning of Sappho
 
 
Silhouetted before the setting sun
Her voice speaks clearly
Against the rising tide
Like grains of sand
Tossed afloat by the waters' crash
Her words drift and pattern
And reform again
Fragmented on whims of time
