Return

Take me, my salty sea
Turn my hair into mermaid cascades
Swirling like tentacles made of feathers
Be my buoy, my strong sweet sea
Hold me loosely and mix yourself
With these tears of mine
I give them to you as my offering
Of time
Each full of a memory
Full of gratitude and pain
Sorrow and grief
Joy and bliss
Carry me upon your waves
Sweet and salty sea
So when I close my eyes
I remember what it was like
Before we were not one
It’s your heartbeat I hear now
My mother is dead
Carry me to her
So I can see her again
