breathing without lungs

O if i were – if I must

Tonight, 
 transform into a mermaid -
at least i'll lust 

O if I may and if I might

i pray strong and steady 
mermen find me here
 tonight
O if I could and if I can’t

against Neptune’s waves
and sailor’s forceful crests.
or' underwater caves 
and  manatees

gliding past the ocean's bottom,
and sandy dusts,
 nothin', not even the sea coral, nothin'
can make a fuss- 
i swim with Humpack whales, they glow

i straddle ruddy sea horses, they show.
i float like ancient pottery. sinking
i'm floating
 beside old man sea turtle
i am the mighty sunken sea's swallow
i am buried gold and pirate's fool
i am treasure.
the spot. the woe. the ship wrecked.
the hull.
with his many shells.
along his multitude of tales to tell.
Until dusk
while it's dark.

breathing without lungs tonight.


i want i need
the windy  hot  sticky
waves of melody.

'you've got the love.

you've got the love

.you've got the love.looovve.

you know it's real

you know it's real

you know; i know

yeah.'
