Adrift
Fathoms below
Sun of silence above
Pleasant day, adrift
Drive from hull
A skinny skinnydipper
A wedge in the water, thin
A returning
What? Seaweed?
Not red, not brown
Not green, a bit blue
But mostly blonde
A returning
Adrift,
This mermaid gathered
the redundant dipper, thin,
in her ample, supple, smooth arms
and the wedge got a little bigger, thick now
Adrift,
returning,
supple and smooth,
willingly,
inevitably,
returning.
