Sirens,
Fragments:

and fish were kissing their bones
and they swayed like weeds.

to hear them sing
but

We've been below to kiss them
join them but

their lips were kissing fish, and silent.
And our voices bubbled in the sea

We've kissed those lips
the fish have kissed
We've whispered, our voices bubbling in the sea
"we remember"

 see the drowned,

to praise our voices, as they fall.
how beautiful
as they dash against the cliffs

the fish who clean their bones ignore our voices:
bubbles in the sea.

who comprehend death
how beautiful they are

the drowned who heard us last, who now hear nothing.
