Dispersing in leylines to fly free, 
she spins in tendrils truly
at one with Gaia,
finally
away from Guy
who ripped out her veins
to float as veil, an obscuring halo:
a sacrifice
she
never proposed.

Follow the link for the original picture prompt. I dare not post it here due to copyright issues with the artist. I know a few of the artists hid their work from public view since being used for the allpoetry contests.
