Her hair is a blend
of things: wind and water.
Her body is carved marble
a beauty,
this girl upon the rock.

Her skin as white
as the inner clam shell, with eyes
as green as the grass of the sea
a beauty,
this woman upon the rock.

Always lusted after by man
but she will never once see one.
Her mother ocean hides her well
a beauty,
this creature beneath the waves.
