oh christ this is quite amazing. sinister and yet sort of ethreal, its very effective. the ending line wraps it up nicely.

Absolutely beautiful imagery. Brava.

Please come back from Squirrel Anna! It better not be an island like this... I'll die if you don't come back! :) I like the rhyming! This is weird but it sort of reminds me of Homer's The Odyssey (scary book! ah... Gitsis)! I don't know why though!

wow this is very nice. I especially like the last line the taastes of salt The taste of tears. Very nice. well written :)
