Reunion--By John Polselli--United States

Reunion

The sea was like the bulging hills enwrapped

     in mist that curled against the feral reefs,

          upon whose jagged ribs the whitecaps rang.

A tranquil strain of hopefulness, entrapped

     within the ambiance and depthless griefs

          the brine withheld, a forlorn mermaid sang.

Then wringing her fair hands with bated breath,

     she spied the schooner, far, with glad relief

          and towards her lover, from the shoal, she sprang,

avowing her devotion until death’s

                                     last pang.
