You, Sir… are a mermaid

i think,

you Sir,

are a mermaid,

a siren,

a half edged howl

on a city street

next to a sometimes charming Parisian cafe

where espresso is served

with unknown pastries

filled with olives?

peace?

you tell me,

when war rages on a big screen

in the sports bar 

across the street 

please Sir,

are you man or beast or angel

or at this point

bagel

?

smeared with lox

out of luck 

a mermaid man

trying to fish his way to happiness

or a fiddler crab blending seas 

into windy stormy frothing cake

batter

?

batter,

now that’s a funny word 

which makes me wonder

if I’m leaving tracks

on your frosting 

and if

when I look back

you will be smiling, or throwing 

plates at me

Hi, my name is Kae Bucher. Thanks for stopping by. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south for college. I completed my bachelor’s in English at Fresno Pacific University in California, where I minored in Christian ministry. I have also had the privilege of serving as a youth pastor. In addition to teaching special needs students and raising four children, I also studied Special Education as a graduate student at FPU. I have now been writing for over twenty years. Recently, I have written articles for iPatriot, and I am in the process of converting my front room into a greenhouse. I like storing humor and greenery, weeds and poetry, in mental tin cans. You will find my humanitarian dreams and political leanings organized accordingly. Feel free to dig through my buckets…
