written for Nabina Das' sketch "Mer-City"
I am a riverine nymph
with long black woman hair
and a forked-fishy tail
But my fishy tail won't swish.
Long ago, I was an earthly woman
my wild roving heart and spirit river-gazed
river-dreamt, river-walked
But now, my fishy tail won't swish
I river-talked, river-loved
and thought I could become the river
my dreams swam, my thoughts glided
But my fishy tail won't swish.
One full moon night, I climbed
out the window, downhill to the river
My heart laughing and singing with merfolk
But my fishy tail won't swish.
I puffed, I dragged, I sprouted
a tail of brick, it held me back
I could not reach the water
And my fishy tail won't swish.
Restless as a Byronic wanderer
between the river and the chains
On the yellow sands of the nodi Luit
But my fishy tail won't swish
Security
Warmth, comfort
Hugging, counseling, soothing
The honest voice of reason
Mother
