Madness: a form of love (free edition) by Max J. Lewy - HTML preview

I am Neptune's daughter. I carry

Ancient salty sea in my veins, and all

Its watery wildlife. Daddy is an old git

With beautiful merman scales. He sails

Above the ocean squall while I squat

And watch from the cliff,

Wondering if the jet net and

Hack-harpoon of my heart

Will yet catch a fat whale, or holy haul of

Salmon, sunset pink. Obscured by

Needle-fish violence,

And the jejune juice

Of squid ink.
