Conchetta - Voice of the Sea
She bade him
come near,
then to place
an ear against
her partly
clenched fist
and just listen ..
Like a dog
he complied
and he
did marvel
at the sounds
that came
from inside ..
Those
that seemed
to emit
from her palm
and her
forefinger ..
To him,
and him alone,
they were
clearly the sound
of the wind
and the sea ..
And it seems
it was then,
that he knelt at
her feet
and he begged
her to
make him
her slave again ..
