Mermaids

If we met on a sunny day
I'd let you sit on my blanket outside
the sun shining through your hair and feed
you mango

If you could I know you'd feed me ripe oranges
fresh picked from trees

If I could I'd buy you silk sheets
so you'd never have to sleep on a scratchy bed

I'd paint my nails the color of pucca shells and
and kiss your temples

I know that if you could
you'd never let my hands be cold again
you'd buy me soft mittens, white as dove
and turn the heat on full blast in your car

If I could I'd make love to you
warm bodies moving like
mermaids out of water

breathe in your smell
and close my eyes.
