****sick

This memory of mine doesn’t work in the way I want. And that is, when it does seem to work. When it doesn’t, it leads some to believe that I may be farther than I appear.

I’ve thought about you, the collective you, and all the things that could have happened, had I stayed on the path a little longer. Not better things, but different.

I miss moments, sparks in a quiet existence. And yet, I don’t truly miss anything, for often times I know when it is. It is me who doesn’t know how to swim back to that river.

I’m ashamed of the things i remember: great meaning and deep feelings, encapsulated in trivial and sometimes vulgar moments that no one would look at twice; I play them ad nauseam in my head.

Aftertaste

Need a palate cleanser for your tongue,
the memory won’t let me live.

Dulled, can’t tell if likey.
Good taste? Mid taste? Qué ‘taste miendo?

I would feel the same about mälort
if it tasted like mango and spices.

I miss

Your sleepwalking in the mornings.

The hardness of your shell.

How strict you ran that kitchen.

The way your presence and absence echoed in every sense.

Non-comprehensive compendium of mermaid curiosities

  1. They prefer to be called Sirens, thank you very much. ‘Mermaids’ is how they were known to them.
  2. Sirens share migration patterns with a number of sea creatures, often hitchhiking aboard those animals large enough to carry them.
  3. These migration patterns last at a minimum 12 months[1], but they can be extended indefinitely.
  4. One can only know where a Siren has been.

[1] We know this thanks to numerous accounts left by Tóvar Rigo, a Mexican diver from Matamoros Tamaulipas who was falsely accused of Sirenicide, imprisoned and released by Neptune in the late 20th century.

Note to others

And specially to my future biographer: please note.

With regards to life-long enemies, arch-nemesis and the likes.

Sworn scorn and oaths to gods immemorial.

if your grievances aren’t intersectional at least,

You never truly hated me.
