Surfacing
I swear I saw a mermaid
Flash of fin
celadon green
between blues of sea and sky
She surfaced
when she heard me
crying
slipped her arms around my neck
voice gentle
her mouth
tasting of salt
tasted mine
a sudden kiss
my lips, cheeks, wet
then she was gone
i swear I saw a mermaid
sometimes
I hear her singing
in the deep
I swear I saw a mermaid
Flash of fin
celadon green
between blues of sea and sky
She surfaced
when she heard me
crying
slipped her arms around my neck
voice gentle
her mouth
tasting of salt
tasted mine
a sudden kiss
my lips, cheeks, wet
then she was gone
i swear I saw a mermaid
sometimes
I hear her singing
in the deep
