Mermaid out there on the glittering sea,
I have no way to reach you, no planks
to ply together, no white sails against
the rocky blue, in fact, if you're out there,
make yourself more noticeable, wave your arms,
fan your hair, flash a lighthouse smile,
i'm off the dock. cutting through surf
feeling the salt swim through my nose
burning my throat and making me cry
so much that, by the time i reach you,
sweet mermaid, my tears are untraceable
among the blue, and you were happy,
so happy that it was christmas.
