My new passport
it was issued, my dear /
on your birthday.
So, every time
I travel somewhere in this world,
by land or by sea;
I will take a
little
part of you /
with me.
And, if I am asked
at Customs:
"Do I have anything to declare?"
I will answer
with a straight face
and a lighter heart:
"Only the tale
of a mermaid that got away..."
