A Woman’s Spell

Mermaid, shell

(Breasts clammed)

Opaque scales.

Shimmering, slithering

Scintillating.

Hair aquamarine, skin

Leeched.

A Siren?

Luring downward, depths:

Stay

Until kingdom come.

Voice enthralling

Features luminescent

You’re bewitched

By she—

Falsetto impressionist.

(Breasts clammed)

Mermaid/Siren…

A woman: spellbinding,

Hypnotizing,

Dreamy.

A woman: con-artist

Invoking passionate

Dragon-chasing,

Into the deepest

Seas,

Where most

Men drown

In desire

Unrequited,

And

Few

Win the evasive

Maid

Of the

Sea.

A woman: the ultimate

Mystery.
