Unequipped for the night, <br />He rode upon the lightning horse, <br />But its breaks were worn, <br />And like I said, <br />He fell right off the <br />Cliffs, of course, <br />All the way into the <br />Mermaid’s kiss <br />And his steed earned <br />The prefixed sea. <br />They had their honeymoon <br />In the caesuras <br />Where her areolas bloom <br />Like cherry Sundays from <br />The foam.<br /><br />Robert Rorabeck<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mermaid-s-kiss/
