“I’ll tell you a story of the time I met an actual mermaid. If you don’t believe me you’ve lived too long in this world and it’s limited vocabulary of desire. This story is my escape from banal everyday life and your opportunity to dream a little.”

I dreamt of a mermaid last night

I beckoned him over,

Wistfully exchanges glances

You could feel the tension underwater

His glistening lilypad, close to touch I hold against the storm he caused, until I can’t anymore

An animal now, I fill him. mark him mineI think this must be love.

I imagine being a mermaid, as grip loosens…He slips out of my fingers and swims away
