She ventured out
from her waters
and flew to sky
to taste the sun
she stroke her fin
and rode the rays
knowing too well
they’ll come undone
heaven gave her
one limb, so strong
she stretched it far
till day was none
in thoughts, we see
her priestly pure
in dreams, she shows
with lust, we yearn
she gave it all
as life can give
when ocean ebbed
her trunk…
was gone.
