Mermaid Survival Guide

{How to live on dry land when what you really crave are gills.}

 

..

breathe words. hold
bubbled syllables on
on hungry tongue.

swim sky. allow trees
to spin their secrets, un
-shelled in acorn, morning song.

sing breeze. the day
blows by with answers;
braid them loose.

wave moon. she’s waning,
but she’ll still
pull you through.

dive deep. this world’s more
green than blue,
but still: it’s yours.
