Mermaid Pools

This afternoon I let my toes disappear in the mud.
Inching, inching, all the way in.

Ice cream dripped down my chin in sticky waves.
Raspberry lemonade fizz, double scoop.

I immersed myself in a shock of cold salt water.
No avoidance, nor hesitation.

Of all my 5 senses, touch seems to be my misunderstood + missed out on.
