Mermaidy Poem for my Sister

I am thinking of all the mermaid poetry I have read now, and running my mind over all the different textures there are. I can think of a few Goodison poems, and Neruda's Fable of the Mermaid and the Drunks.  And then there is this... a small teardrop of a poem for my mermaidy sister:)... 

Seagazing

for Jolie

the

need to

be broken

and fixed

unravels

before you like

infinite blue thread.

you are casting questions

into the ocean, questions

it cannot answer

without first

claiming

your silence.

The wind howls

on the open

bottle

of

your throat,

your soles are shredded

by broken sea-

stars.

Naiad,

go hide your

treasures

now

the

nets

are waiting

to carry you

home.
