You Don't Belong to that Part of the Sea

roselemberg asked me to rewrite a poem and send it somewhere, and now "Ariel" has been accepted by Strange Horizons!  That is only what I hope is the first part of its journey.  The rest must be, for now, wrapped in mystery.  If not, well, it's still a saaaaaaaaaaale!  And as such, I will see if I can find you the song that first inspired it.


And the really embarrassingly cheesy one that is also partly to blame.
