Kandinsky's Night
The blue half-moon overhead glides by like a skate
While, as if underwater, a girl with the stare
Of a sunken ship's figurehead combs
Her flowing green hair.
Unmoving, a witch moves, a vacant rocking-chair,
Saying, Never mind, it's too late.
A little girl clutches the pretty one's dress.
Her hair glows like a seashell, her face is a pearl,
She can't understand the low murmur she hears
Nor the hypnotic swirl
Of the changing seafloor where pink plumes unfurl
Like reaching arms, like the eroding caress
That could swallow a ship, that prods the whale waking
Stretched out on the beach; that so changes your face
You're aghast before the glass;
That quickens the pace
In the traveler's nightmare of running in place:
That fabled hag's Never mind. The unmaking.
– Gjertrud Schnackenberg (1974)
