The moon hangs low, close.
Close to a careening earth,
A gleaming temptress.
 
A lone mermaid sits.
Songs of heartbreak rise upwards
As waves come closer.
 
Closer come the waves!
Would that the planet could mend!
Would that sirens called!
 
I will rise song-wards
I will unfurl my wet wings
And fly to the moon.
