The world was all water

Until sun came and dried up the earth

And men

Were born from the fire

Left women beached

On the sand

At the feet of man

He told her she didn’t

Need to swim

So she grew legs

And long hair

And walked with him

For he kept her warm

Kept her dry

She forgot of her sisters

Sitting at the bottom

Of the sea

She grew old and he grew

Hotter and hotter

He spread fires

Through the trees

That grew food

He turned the towns red

Burnt every child they had

The woman had no choice but to return to the sea

Wait for him to

 

Grow fins
