Mermaid

glittering
the tail dreams
sated with salt
the bitter sea
taste
from scales
to gooseflesh
damp permeations
like a wave froth
captured in the dimples
and resting on the
upper lip
submerged and risen

depth promise
swells
damp valley
runs
alive in sunlight
sequined

"the sound in
sated with salt
 the bitter sea

If you only consider some punctuation, it would just be really great!

and swiftly swirl imagery
imagination and depths
brought forth with its
passage

this magic of the craft
