false child,
your memory serves no one well
shed those fins
that slippery tail
Repent.
slip between
your beloved river rocks
and sing the tale of the
otter and hippopotamus
or even better!
the mergirl who grew legs
behind her ovaries
and birthed a creature
too closed for openings.
A seamstress and her Czech glass buttons
was seen in Bohemia's last Opera House.
When a glass shoe drops,
high arches escape blood-lettings.
