49 words for Geri Lynn Peak from Steven Leyva:

Crochet Hook in Arabesque Keeping Time
O muse, through me spin a yarn
of that woman skilled in not taking
any shit, who could start a school
on how to live off crochet hook
and attitude. Look, sometimes the sea needs
some hand dying, some brand new blues,
mer-made song that out sings the sirens.
