I Think I Want To Be A Mermaid






If I squint and mix
my green sheets
and my greybluesea walls,
and the (bubbles on the window)
I can make an ocean

If I can make an ocean, 

Maybe, just
maybe
I can be a mermaid

Swim, twirl, speed, spin

Up down, fast, slow
Twirl, twirl down down down
To a quieter place

Still see the light,

but far off, in the kind of
distance
I
  can
        ignore
                 until
I
until I
until I am 
until I am ready
until I am ready to
until I am ready to deal
until I am ready to deal with
until I am ready to deal with it
until I am ready to deal with it all

Because right now,

I'm just a mermaid,
Maybe like the ice-skaters,
Body bending gracefully, 
Spinning so fast I become
The blur that I am

Yes, a mermaid.

That would be nice.

I'm actually early this week!  I'm at my favorite pub, d'Verse. They are pretty mellow over there, which is why I like to hang out. You can too. Linky still open. Promote #d'Verse, @d'Verse please.
