A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.
Mermaid Blues
It’s just me aboard this canoe
Naked bleached under the sun
On a seaward journey without drinking water
But if there was a way to filter all the salt of these wounds
From that crystal spring that spews from the godly abyss
I would dive
Into you
Like a lover seeking comfort
Like ice seeking stillness and steam rising to unity with the clouds
And as per heaven’s eternal mandate
We remain, watching the waves
