Medallist

Triple goddess, three heroines in one
Rippling through water fluent as a selkie,
In your wake star-bubbles glitter and vanish.

Ashore, you shrug your gleaming skin, turn centaur
Tearing full tilt along freewheeling roads
Half-woman, half-machine, quicksilver-flash

Lost to view in a moment; shifting to hare
Outstrip the pack, running for dear life,
Nerved for the all but impossible, heart-bursting finish.
