Nicole Peyrafitte as Little Mermaid in Part 2
It's a deep song that floods the harbor.
It's a sea shanty than longs for land.
It's a waist that wants a watershed.
It's a head that wants a cavern as crown.
at the edge of the seaO whip end this whine
my fish flesh chose rock
to tell my troubles tosailors lap at my bow
their stern boats dock me
at the edge of the seamy bronze belly my breast
beckon the whole bay
no one to tell my troubles togive me a mountain not a man
give me the whole earth
at the edge of the seaI'm a girl not a gill
I'm a portal not a trap
don't tell me your troubles
sailor at the edge of my sea
O hips step out of this penny fountain
in this o-so-flatland
O wrist quick ground her
so we know earth as woman as fist
as dirt O matriarch
O monarch O butterfly beast
off with her head and carry it
in my belly laugh to rock rock rock
her from this harbor to our mother
core to Mater Chora -- O mountain
Caput
