Hardworking mermaids

Good ghosts, apparently stepped out of the ocean

now they're cleaning our rooms

I shuffle for breakfast in the all-inclusive

Buenas, is kindly the women’s greeting

The sea is so soft

but the surf is hard

It whips me in a fierce battle

before I can finally swim.

The blue bracelet cut up

I feel driven out of paradise.

Soon the memory has faded

but stayed with hardworking mermaids
