a poem about the merman
i am in my cocoon like cave
the ocean is very cold
there are too many fish
i tried to hold a dolphin’s fin and hug it
but it doesn’t want to hug me
so i swam away
i swim slowly to the surface
it is rainy today
it is grey and boring
i have a feeling of immense foreboding
i glare at everything
everything glares back at me
it’s the anniversary of my cousin’s suicide
he screamed at a lionfish
until it stung him
in his neck
with an anal fin spine
