I met a mermaid in a man-made river
The outline of her svelte frame glistened like a rayograph in the afternoon sun
Skin, sticky and sweet, glowing behind a sweaty mirage
My eyes knew no difference between its tears and the fresh waters that swam into them
She pulled me under for a kiss
"Just one," she said
"Okay."
"Just one," she said
"Okay."
"Just one more."
"Okay."
And with each kiss, I lost a little bit more of myself
"Let go."
"Let go."
"Let me in," she said
