the mermaid gardens






The mermaid wakes 
to a garden chilled by rain.
She remembers
the last morning by the sea
on a photo.  She was sitting 
crosslegged, red blanket on sand
surrounded by blue 
sails in the background.
The last time her lover
mouthed her name.
This morning, the dragon 
wing begonia flowers 
brim with seeds.
She fingers them
with eyes.
