Whales

Humpback Whales

I called them to me in my heart

I felt them in my belly—then

Through salty labyrinths

They moved—

Rocketing up the water column

Splashing into salt air

then—

Crashing down

Before my astonished eyes.

Their huge longing had echoed off mine

Sonorous gorgeous whale songs.

  Here I am on youtube reading from my book: Between Sweetwater and Sand.

 

The poems in this book are from the wonderful wild places in the world--places I have internalized and cherish.
