FLOATING

 


FLOATING

 

-         Mike Jenkins (U.K.)

 

On

Still

Water -

Just 

As

Hairy

Black

Caterpillar 

Crossing

Road

Will

Be

Transformed 

Become

Half-seal

( Grew

Swimming

Under

Hill

In

Cold

Sea -

And

Now

Feet 

Flippers 

Raised

To

Cumulus 

The

Salt

Balances -

Yet

Only

Tides

No 

Waves -

Hunting

Peace

Amongst

Crabs

Tiny

Fish

Jellyfish -

Warm

Blood 

The

Sun

Propels

Me.
