she grew up in warm warm water

helps her face look flush and full

running laps all around

the daughter's head keeps spinning like a spiral shell

and there she goes goes goes

there she goes into the water

swimming with the seals and weeds


with clothes and promises of make believe believe believe

he found her body on the seashore

as he walked his early morning stroll

clothes were gone

body breathed no more

dried by the sun

he took her in his arms arms arms

washed away
