The Mermaid Who Couldn't Swim

you were so scared for Melina
who had sea drops and scales
and no hopes on the horizon
with a fin tail and salty tears

you asked why a mermaid
should be taught how to swim
and why the little boy
from the fishing village
drew pictures in the sand
and helped her find
a kingdom under the sea.
