Mermaid
an hourglass
in Siberia
broke
and she held
out her hands
and returned it
to the deep
and went to sleep
and while she slept
the sand and sea
went to work
and when she woke
there were pearls in a circle
and shells on the line
and she picked one up
and held it to her ear
and said, “Hello”
and the ocean
answered
