She dived
into the poem
the words closing
about her
like the sliver light
of water.
She swam underwater
from stanza to
stanza she
laughing to her self
as I tried to trap her
in the nets of thought
she throwing off
each
baited word
that dared
to hold her
though I turned
the pen again &
again
unable to
catch her
'as
she
is'
mythical mermaid
newly minted lover.
