Mermaid


I'm lost on land  
And breathe in the tide
To fill rock pools with light
For like calls to like
And my stars are the sparks of the Sun, 
As they strike 
The surface of my water sky -
Constellations I can fly to,
Surge and shimmer down through
Under water the outside combines
Without it I thirst - 
An island of dust 
Isolated by the dry divides.

Speaking Out

What is extreme 
About asking for peace
On behalf of those living 
That know only pain?

When do I shout?
I'm crouched low on the ground 
Like a child who's found 
Something dying.

Why am I harsh
For showing my heart 
Can't bear the sound 
Of their silence.
