siren

in all the oceans and seas
there are no ships like yours

this quiet siren
collects salt water jewels in her eyes
when some jealous wave gets caught on her call

and despite your map-less sailing
and your hull of mermaids hands and hearts
your fear of the coast

she still wants to break on you

a sweet wreck
against a horizon of water and sky
