The Hieroglyphs in the Loxahatchee River

Maya Ellenson is keen on creating unconventional poetry and prose, inspired by what the moment reveals.

Sunset in Jupiter

Sunset blasting colors

unto the boats

rocking

on the water canvas

or rather the ancient scrolls ablaze

with its nameless symbols

only wizards would know

the Loxahatchee River is about

to change its décor

to the Moonlit hieroglyphs

evasive

uncanny

cast in mercury

only shamans would capture
