now we have arisen from a deep foam mattress sleep
while wide awake and drowning deep
becoming mermaid nymphs
drowning in unfamiliar oxygen
we were formed languid and lovely
began testing our strength
pushing hard
against those nasty demons
stealing out of every corner
from ancient nightmares
I will push them
into the walls safely
before they consume our full moon
we conquer them with delight
slowly remembering how to fight
the most ferocious of fears
while running from the sea
I forgot my tears
and we fell upon forbidden shores
watching demons sink back down into dust
while swirling sun sent colors must
swim out of focus
and clouds are stretch marks
covering the sky
where space is most vulnerable
I have no word for good bye
