What turns half corpses
away from prepared tombs?
Mermaids lay on shores
and let the sun fry
the fins - watching the
shoreline in bitter contempt
as blue fades to blue.
Like a television to static
only the knobs are broken
off. The grass grows around
a few marble name markers.
1000 miles apart and six
feet under the ground.
we did not survive it.
