LITTLE SURFLE GRRRRRL by Helen R. Peterson
August 10, 2010  Poetry   Tags: poem  

She rises early to scrub her flesh in brimstone

and ashes, waxes her board to surf the waves

of undead coming through the gate, their shoulders

bent at just the right angles. Her skin glows sulfur,

a bottle placed high on a blackened shelf, fallen

through the cracks between life and afterlife,

the miracle potion of a quack now dust beneath

the soles of an undead little girl.

   Just wanted you to know that people do appreciate your work.
