Nixie

Darling, listen
To my strings humming
Like a choir of the sea
Let it tug you forward

Touch-starved wanderer,
The waves will hold you
Sink into their comfort
Skin to saltwater

The depths call for you
Fall, O angel of the earth,
Guided by serpent-song
To a bed of stinging salt

Wake just before your end
Hungry for air
Too far from the sky
Held down by the stream
