Sirens Call to Work by Evie Dame

I want this job because

sailors no longer roam the seas and

regardless of the patience of Death’s Embrace

A girl’s got to eat

 

I have many skills to bring to this team,

I could show you if you like

In this modern world

I no longer sing

But I bet I still could bite

 

The faeries left long ago

And the dragons sleep in their dens

No man on land can dance like waves

And I miss my sisters' calls

 

In the end

It’s eat or be eaten

And my ocean will eat it all

 

Is there any reason I shouldn’t have this job

I ask as this interview ends

I’ll fit in well enough here

Till the tides change again
