I want to dream of being afraid of the deep end of the ocean, right off the cliff of the land I know. I want to dream of moving through waters with each move of my brow and neck, rather than by pecarious balance of feet. I want to dream of gasping for thin human … Continue reading I Want to Dream of Mermaids

Body Theif
