Living with mermaids

 It's all just attachment theory

The stresses and strains

And the colours run down the drains

We've washed ourselves clean

In the new green machine

But I still cannot wash out the stain

I mean

The blood spot

of a murder scene

In which we killed our love

Got away clean?

Scot-free

Neither

lest the bonds of guilt

Struggle to hold the mermaid

As she tries to leave the sea
