shining like a white stone in the rain,
and without looking back she swam again
swam towards emptiness, swam towards death.

“I'll follow you, I'll lead you about a round,
Through bog, through bush, through brake, through brier:
Sometime a horse I'll be, sometime a hound,
A hog, a headless bear, sometime a fire…”

In a mantel of Moss from the Maple's root,
& like the Lichen grey on its stem that grows
Is the hair that over her mantle flows.
