The Ocean Nymphs sing tears of anguish
Forces of nature
Admired, revered, loved, feared,
Captured, controlled,
Driven to extinction.
The Oceanids lament,
Over the loss of their kind,
Over the loss of their sisters,
Over the loss of humanity’s ear,
Forces of water give birth to new kinds,
Waves of soft ooze weave beauty into our chests.
