She Stands Staring into the Water

[Achebe]

You're on a roll, lizziep.
Great ending, I like the way it goes back to the beginning. Always works.
Some neat alliteration in 'deliciousness of dead' and 'meditate trough the motion'
So what's not to like?
Perhaps the unnecessary hyperbole of 'every', 'anywhere', and 'any'. Also, 'she stands staring into the water' doesn't scan at all to my ear. It's free verse, but even free verse should have some cadence. So perhaps 'she stands staring at the water' or 'she stands and stares into the water' would be better
