buoyant with whales
turning circles
wide
fluent in water
and joyous
enraptured
I suck oceanic pleasures through the portals of my eyes
glossy blue merging with the dirt there
fertile
beautiful
and yet
a halo of hazy instinct clings
like a barnacle to freedom
my curly shell tight and dark and leaning
toward the echo
following the current of song
and dissolution
whales
solid not real

Love the painting…wishing you a wonderful new year.
