Silver Fish
.
Flash of silver quick as lightning
Fleet of fin (ha) they catch a ride
On the backwash of each wave
Taking shelter behind cropped rocks
Knowing the music of the sea
Feeling the rhythm of the water
Breathing in, breathing out
Anticipating even the crabs’
Sideways stagger —
Silent hunters of the ocean floor —
Confident of the secret pathways
Shortcuts made to aid escape

Ha. After spending hte last couple weeks at the beach, I like the visuals. You know we did not see much in the way of crab, even sand crab. Maybe it does not go that far south. Anyway, I love the life you inject into this.

You ‘lucky fish’ I always wanted to retire to either a place on the beach or on the top of a mountain, lol! Crabs give me the creeps!!! Some places if you sit still for a while they come out of their holes in the sand and there are, well, LOTS of them.
