Ariel Has Lost Her Tail

Enveloped by murky waters,

Breathing in the froth that bubbles to the surface.

Sediment and sea monkeys float into your throat.

-Sigh-

The liquid claws into your lungs.

-Splutter-

You drift…

You’re a buoy or a lily pad resting.

The seaweed clings onto your braids,

As fish nibble your cheeks,

And waves pull you towards the sun.
