Selkie Song

She came on the salty foam

of the icy sea.

She stayed a while

whispering close in my ear

while we slept.

She left,

every summer:

Back to the ocean

back to the turquoise tranquility

and the briny tang of fish.

Yet

she would return each coming winter,

and hang her coat on a peg,

and whisper:

"I love you."
