“They'd think nothing of destroying the Mer, your divers. Can't you see what will happen to Limina once divers get near that wreck? Once humans know there's gold there? We're nothing to them. They don't even see us. They'll destroy our world and they won't even know they're doing it.”

“The sea's strong, and wild, and if you make a mistake, the sea will make you pay. Sometimes you pay with your life. Dad used to say that the sea doesn't hate you and it doesn't love you. It's up to you to learn its ways and keep yourself safe.”

“And no one knew what I was missing
until a doctor gave me a handful of Lego
and said to put a brick on the table
every time I heard a sound.

in my hand to build a house
and call it my sanctuary,
call it the reason I sat in saintly silence
during my grandfather's sermons when he preached
The Good News I only heard
as Babylon's babbling echoes.”
