  • All these fellows were there inside when she entered
    utterly naked.
    They΄d been drinking and began to spit at her,
    recently come from the river, she understood nothing.
    She was a mermaid who had lost her way,
    the taunts flowed over her glistening flesh
    Obscenities drenched her golden breasts.
    A stranger to tears, she did not weep,
    A stranger to clothes, she did not dress.
    They pocked her with cigarette ends and with burnt corks
    And rolled on the tavern floor in raucous laughter
    She did not speak, since speech was unknown to her
    Her eyes were the colour of far away love
    Her arms were matching topazes
    Her lips moved soundlessly in coral light
    And ultimately she left by that door
    Hardly had she entered the river than she was cleansed
    Gleaming once more like a white stone in the rain
    And without a backward look, she swam once more
    Swam towards nothingness, swam to her dawn.
