Mermaid Bar

de Maya Hawke

There was no Moon black sky on the night
I jumped from the bridge toward the river
I swear, I saw silver star light
On the water's surface, a shimmer
Pounded the pulse, I couldn't finish
Didn't hear a splash or feel the cold
Was full of bubbles for a minute

Turned to ice, then cycloid scales of gold
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, no
Turned to ice, then cycloid scales of gold
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, no

My lungs deflated, my fingers weaved
Rips separated for gills to breathe
Ran my tongue over my sharp new teeth
Panicked, swimming, collapsed in the reeds
Taken with the current to the sea
Tide disrupting desperate dreams
My belly empty, body weak

I had no sound, no way to speak
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, no
I had no sound, no way to speak
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, no

I was close to quiet death again
When new instincts woke me from the spell
I killed a Diamondback terrapin
Was most scared of my awful self
I woke up on cold stones, broken glass
Winter beach at Long Island's end
I found that I could still maneuver

Slip slide on the sand and the cement
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, no
Slip slide on the sand and the cement
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, no

I opened sardine dream mermaid bar
We serve most oysters and caviar
Leave your seashells in our tall tip jar
There are more like me, I swear, there are
Come for scallops, come to hear our song
Come if you're in awful, bad trouble
Come if you're certain you don't belong

Some that fall, don't land in bubbles
'Cause some that fall, don't land in bubbles (in bubbles, bubbles)
Some that fall, don't land in bubbles
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, no
Some that fall, don't land in bubbles (bubbles, bubbles)
Some that fall, don't land in bubbles
