Rebirth at Low Tide

With shipwreck.

The secret of the stolen apple: an inverted sweet to burn the tongue. When the old vision of paradise meets its wreckage on this shore, the storybook rainbow breaks with it, and from the collective corpse erupts a wild flight of blue lotus, each of these a newborn god, laughing.
