Melusine

Melusine is waiting 

in the river

for you to stop by


she didn’t tell you

that it was forbidden 

she didn’t remind you 

that she is half-serpent

on Saturdays


she may also have wings

and be cursed

and occasionally be a 

succubus


there are a lot of things

that she didn’t manage

to fit in her text message


maybe she figured

you had your suspicions already

or that everyone’s family

and friends

are a little funny.
