A mermaid moves through Michelangelo's

dream-of flawless form she strips him of his

vision , charcoals her face on his chest, shows

her faded face briefly as he wakes. Myths

are made by mermaids scoring symphony's

about an Italian painter who hunts the streets

in search of a visage-he maps fully

faces with eyes hinting at exotic rites

realised during dreams configured

to bring the dreamer closer to a state

shared by mermaids. To be transfigured

out of time by Dionysus's gilded plate.

Ghostly tears fall through eyes on a ceiling

an artist hears sirens below humming.
