Twin Migrations
missing a certain sheath over a certain cartilage I tick tick tick as I go
like great herds of caribou O
seacoast cow
your shadow is blue this cannot be a mistake soft and surprising as pink
flowers half-hidden in leaf litter or bit of buck fuzz laid bare after first snowmelt
cloud-bound small yellow stars quake flushed from lightyears of stop-
and-go
tick ticking
whatever
halved us into being hints of blue in the mud humming like lights
over nightwater eating mostly squid and other fissures red crabs and
krill
I am as surprised
as you are by wanting this: the masculine tuna slick-finned muscling
through the deep
