the nymphs toss their frothy foamy hair about
as they frolic across the crests
then playfully dive to deeper water
fluidly swimming to the ocean floor
salt water blood flows under
transparent skin
they move in one motion
to and fro in a wavering dance of the deep
then rocking to sleep in a briny bed of
seaweed and sediment
far above the mist the maidens
reveal their ethereal forms for a moment
in the salty spray on the rocks
they disperse into tiny droplets
and re-emerge in the foggy banks
melting in mystery to once again become
become blood sisters of the sea.
