I wish...


If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets.

I'd cast my net in the deep blue waters of the pacific, kelp beds and reefs brimming with rainbow fish. I'd even settle for a giant lily pad in the middle of a koi pond. A black sand beach to soak up all the tropical heat. A drink with umbrellas and sliced sugarcane. A brightly printed red and purple sarong. A gallon of sunscreen. A ridiculous hat and giant sunglasses. Fish tacos. Ahi tuna. Sashimi. Curry. Tabasco. Learning to Hula. No Poi. A new tattoo. Platanos and cumin and basil. Feeling blessed heat seep through my skin and through my chilled bones. Swimming in bathwater temperature calm seas. Turning into a mermaid.
