the seal

The Seal.

It has been a long time since I was in a bay somewhere on the Algarve.

The road to get there was narrow and dusty, and

I got annoyed with my girlfriend at the time for dragging me.

away from the safety of my house and the communal

Swimming pool. It was a secluded beach where women.

could swim without the great hindrance of a bra, and to

Think she had dragged me here to get her **** sunburned.

She could have done that in my backyard.

I went for a swim, and the water enveloped me like blue silk.

And I floated with the lightness of a sea lion, it was then.

I saw here, just her head, a mermaid, and her head was

Bobbing gently up and down, she was the sea.

The home of all beginnings....

So they did exist, and not an illusion, a tale told by the lonely.

Sailors, and how typical that wondrous women are seen

by those who long for female company, but a voice

from the shore called me, the one who was tanning her ****,

was getting restless, wanted something to eat, fried chicken

Salad and a half bottle of chilled white wine.
