A bit of seafoam For Hedge’s 55
Edmund duLac – Mermaid
The Mermaid
She was lying on the seaglass
absently picking among the greens
blues, whites –
and was drenched from
her head down to her……tail.
her hair was snagged with seaweed,
her tail the colors of the ocean.
Then she saw me –
she smiled, lifted herself
and rode a wave home
leaving behind a pile of seaglass and shells
