Prose: "dream in marine"

I dream of a mermaid with hair like honey, eyes like her own seas, and a pillowy lip I drive myself mad thinking of kissing. Do mermaids fall in love with selkies? Could they? Why not? This world is big and wide and mad and full of surprises and astonishments.

We sit on the beach and curl up in each other's arms and smile at the tragedies we managed to live through. We breathe seawater and braid each other's hair with sheels and pearls. We dream in the deepest marine.

We surface.
