Mermaid
mermaid
or:
keiji adachi's cocktail
no sugar in the sea. at the palate she's dry,
dry as fishbones. dry as fishtails
under breakneck gales from the arctic
hitting land at the orkneys,
ice at heart. there they are! lean as whips.
hair of air hiss, fizz washed mammal breasts.
see their blueish green, their greenish clean
immorality. drink sin.
