ragged sirens

By Malice In Wonderland

the smell of ocean
bloomed
on her lips
past her tongue
gulls soaring through her aorta
she ran headlong
into the waves
mussels lining her nailbeds
growing along her jaw
and the currents streaming from her lashes
sailing into the void beyond

    Ive often imagined histories for the lady carved upon the ship's face and forced to crash bosom first into salted waves. This Siren took that form in my mind. This was really... haunting.

    A Siren would be quite a sight. It takes the ugly for us to truly appreciate the beautiful i think. Lovely imagery, I can picture her. Also, reminds me of World Of Warcraft when a Siren runs off into the ocean when shes about to die lol Lovely write xoxo

    I want to be her when I grow up. No stone left unturned here.. The perfect amount of description gifting the reader cerebal decor.

    She sounds like a scallop to me, but maybe just a sea hag too, still pondering and loving the nautical nuances, cheers!
