Dashed.

March 18, 2022 Lucy

Its starboard light winked once in the glass and —

the ship was gone from view.

Illusion.

She switched off the grammar check

and breathed

a sigh of relief

the words

unfrozen

break and drift apart at will

no commas rules to divide them no

stops

only false starts

and broken shards of sweet

gin-laced ice

melting.
