Siren
Call

me:
ye? the dragonflies me: ye are leaving
me: non i can't find them today its winter it’s okay its
part of life The island loomed large in the distance the reef was
orange jaded coral with purple undertones the Dorsal fins of Ianthe
cut this way and that she was fishtailing in a hurry to get there the
winter was icy the fresh water feed was frozen over the villager was
in need of fresh water it was up to her to free the ice floe unless
the blockage was reduced immediately the pass would choke and freeze
up now with no relief until winter was over poor lover the only man
in the world was staying on the island to recover his love for a
woman this mermaid heart his Ianthe. A lover in trouble he was
pitching at the ice in a vain Human attempt at fury he was on all
fours like a drunken dog crawling along the edge hitting the ice floe
with his piton hammer. A pitiful excuse for a man he would run out of
fresh water unless she came. Suddenly a voice came like a tape
recorded in the early hour of the day. “Step Back Get Away Get
Back” she cried in a commanding voice “when this is over
you will visit me in the underwater caves there is pockets of air and
fresh water there.” She Morphed into the beautiful ewe a brown
eye cow. She continued on the ice as if it was dry land and then she
spun on all fours like a top until she was centered in the middle of
the floe and then she morphed. This time it was Tall Tree the magic
Creek Indian Maiden she lifted her brazen deer horn and blew upon it
with lipps meant for kissing the charlaxandroidoneseven.

This
was the majic Sirens Call. The Ice floe cracked and moved away
from the village entrance. The villager the android whom she loved
was there he quickly gathered whits and launched himself onto the
floe before it got too far away from shore and there he almost lost
his footing until Tall tree limped with her left as he limped with
his right they made a perfect triangle of life. She morphed back to
cow at edge of floe then spinning around she said “Drown with
me sailor Charles” and was no longer cow butt mermaid fins
cutting into the water with the CharlaXAndroidModelSevenOne in tow He
was just holding on to dorsal and trying not to breathe the water
drownd for sure for certain she was leading him to air. They say
there is an underwater horizon near the island with the azimuth
facing the inner beach. All eye knoe for certain is the final curtain
called him home she laid his body in the cavern air no longer needed
to reform him suspiration Android body does not die but merely
sleepeth like a Christian in religion laying in a darkened tomb.
Unhurriedly she blew a short staccato blast upon the majic flute the
Android sputtered and sat up and Ianthe was the Tall Tree maiden once
again in love.
