mermaid or siren

no idea how we made it to the edge of the pool in the middle of an afternoon
a smile a song a distant connection a dream threading into my speedy heart
*so what’s the problem*
never married no kids single and beautiful
thin bronzed blonde with a magnetic smile and hidden pain in her eyes
she spoke of a man she loved
promises fantasy and ecstasy
married

now
next to her
warm threads access my imagination
for
all
the
wrong
reasons
