Mermaid: The Woman on the Edge of the Sea
12
Oh my sea maiden, we cannot give up on distant horizons,
by the light of spheres, unknown without replenishment.
As to why this occurs through stars, I am as yet uncertain.
As to why my ship has sails that follow songs, I cannot say.
I only know that they have become who we are, Celeste,
for their enduring, unending light has mapped our psyche. |
