improv

here in the darkness the sky opens...stars spill out...ocean rises up to press her hips against the curve of the moon...waves shiver to shore...i am stretched out on the wet sand waiting...you rise...glistening...shimmering scales fall and float away...you walk a bit unsteady...yet here you are...brave...kneeling...hands whisper their prayers...full tongues dance...speak to me in tongues mermaid...tell me your stories and i will tell you mine...we will speak this language of love all night...
