I have not heard the siren's song in quite some time. In its absence I have taken up knitting; socks and hats, scarves of dubious color and shape. I would give you one, if you knocked on my door. I'd open with mock surprise, and, snow covering your messy hair, you'd smile at me, open that sweet mouth and say – But, as I said: I have not heard the siren’s song in quite some time.
