Personae:

 

There’s Meli, a mermaid desalinating,

seeking reprieve from a cheerless story

and Jenn, a sun-scoured gardener who

plans alluring flyways for pollinators.

Meli’s mellifluous voice entices shoals of

silver-slip fish. She reaps kelp undersea

while patchy sunlight sparks odd reverie.

Jenn devotes hand-inscribed poems to

endangered wildlife and green gambits.

She’s still shadowed by that timorous /

adventurous girl who almost drowned.
