Evasion
She sat reading and fading where she sat.
First her feet slipped into nothing, a toe
at a time. Her legs went next, but she sat
still and continued reading even though
her body shifted out of time part by
part. Her torso next phased out following
her legs. Not some invisibility
trick or try to fool the eye, she’s going
now, her arms are vanishing, soon her head
will go and all that will be left standing
is her clothes and the grimoire that she read.
For the invisibility spell cast
had helped her to evade her past at last.

Melinda, of course that makes sense and fits the context perfectly. I certainly headed down the wrong avenue with Grimm (fairly tales). Thanks for the lesson.

No worries, I had wondered the same thing. So I googled it to make sure I used it correctly.

My goodness, how do you think and write like that. Brilliant! I love words, I’ve never met “grimoire.” Is it’s etymology from Grimm? You are certainly a word master. I am do glad to have found you.

Thank you. I think it derives from grammarie because that’s what “spell” books were, grammar books for the occult. I looked it up when I wrote the poem and I think that’s the gist of it
