Spotlight on . . . Rebecca
Rebecca
(after Alfred Hitchcock’s film)
Lost at sea
The Wars of the Narratives
bidding for control
with disinformation of the heart

vase, trees, tea, hint at the whole

we wish you well in your bereavement
reborn we know our loss of face
Dancers
50’s dream girl, poodle skirt, suspenders. Thrown, stockinged feet pass face, shoes a memory left long in the thrill of his hold, she’s gone soft in his arms, necklace almost lost, skirt whispers over silken skin, heart, body and soul, swish. This is the thrill, this, is the thrill, of it all. If he’d just…
