Excerpt
"Sirenita" by Edwin Fontanez
Brillante, entre las olas
una sirenita canta.
Vestida de oro y jade
con coronita de algas.
El mar sube, se levanta
se cansa y echa en la arena.
Y la sirenita ríe
brincando entre la marea.
El sol y el aire salado
pronto se cubren de estrellas.
La sirenita cansada
desaparece en la arena.
Adiós, sirenita adiós,
princesa de uvas playeras
que en tu castillo de corales
sueñes entre las almejas.
