i want to be a siren. i want to be beautiful, raging, strong, & vicious. i want to breathe water the way i breathe crystal mountain air. i want to get lost while excavating my majestic world. i want a domain of my own, where i can trample on ocean weeds, use my tears to hydrate them & create anemones with spongey branches that protect the critters within. i want to create life & then destroy it, because i know it’s mine & only mine.
