Oh seal sleek,
Watching me
From the fickle curve
Of your weightless world
I wonder what you see
With those depthless pools
As you slip between the tangles
Of fallen mermaids' hair
Selkie queen,
Always weeping
Why do you grieve so?
Do you mourn the loss of the moon
As you slide beneath the waves?
Blubber-slick
Sighing through my dreamscapes
Girl, beast and goddess
Our briny paths intertwining
Like strands of fishing net
You live between silt and starlight
And I between cloud and satin
But I, too, feel the tug of the tide on my heartstrings
And I know before long, we'll be sisters
Cockle-shell hearts
Always weeping.
a/n: my best trick for seal-observation is to paddle your kayak backwards, because they're so curious that they'll follow after you incredibly closely, but if you move towards them they get scared and dive off. So I paddle around backwards watching them, and it works very well.
however I am forced to admit I must look like an idiot
Hope you are well, Cassie
p.s apologies there's no photo I couldn't find one that fitted :(
