Mermaid by Jerichau-Baumann
Mermaid Rosary

Our Lady of Wayward Currents
finds her home off the highway
A curious thing to find
a candle flame so deep in the bay
One o’clock sun sets it off
fanned by the hulls of sailor’s vessels
Some call it holy to carry a
love for the ocean
tattooed on your arm
I carry mine in a pocket
with loose change
