incandescence and the mermaid

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.
