. Her fine hands gentle With lithe and spiny fingers Of bone and fin. Her eyes are opal, Essence of emerald and topaz, A hoard of treasure. Her hair is sea gathering And dances in the blue currents Deadly as the sea snake. Her skin is coral, Made of mineral and sorcery, A fatal beacon. Her lips are urchin, Set in a whirlpool of face, A spiral of doom. Her voice is dream, Rocking the lost wrecked ships, Ground into sand. Her long tail is fable Of paradise, beyond faraway seas, Cyclones and waves. .

Anatomy of a Mermaid
. Her fine hands gentle With lithe and spiny fingers Of bone and fin. Her eyes are opal, Essence of emerald and topaz, A hoard of treasure. Her hair is sea gathering And dances in the blue currents Deadly as the sea snake. Her skin is coral, Made of mineral and sorcery, A fatal beacon. Her lips are urchin, Set in a whirlpool of face, A spiral of doom. Her voice is dream, Rocking the lost wrecked ships, Ground into sand. Her long tail is fable Of paradise, beyond faraway seas, Cyclones and waves. .
