I look into my pint of water
The wedge of lime
Sparkles under the disco lights
I see a figure laying on her back
Relaxing
On the icy rocks
She’s clad in green.
I sip through a straw
Teasing her
The feel of the tangy flavour
Bursting in my mouth.
I’m reminded of the fireworks
On Dingle Pier
On New Year’s Eve
I crack the ice with my teeth
A shiver running up my spine
My brain freezes over
Now
The glass is empty
But the image is stamped on my mind
Words in pictures
The mermaid in my belly.
