gliding frailty
along a trough
of rough waters
hollowed bones
muscle and air
enough to stay aloft
enough to endure
a slam through water’s
tensed surface
to find food
then to break free
into the air
brokenness then
resurrection
again and again

Did you take that picture Pam? It’s breathtaking. Trough of rough water’s… water’s tensed surface are perfect lines for this phenomenal creature’s surroundings. Well done. Have a great day.
