Mermaid Song Poem by Matthew Buchwald

Mermaid Song



Bells of perfume where seas meet,
The couch where guts are melting
Shores boiling with drowsiness
Heave up the passivity of seas.

A sauce, monstrous and insipid,
Stews on the frail littoral;
A lark dives in and splinters
The obstinacy of waves.

Disdain and rapture, brine's magnificence
Laid out below us like a jade
A tempest of flukes, sea maid
Beguiling with catastrophe.
