Lovely Penguin

Bobbing
By Marie Gordon

I was the sea turtle
That swam underneath you
As you drifted out
Into the churning waves

As your tippy toes searched
For bottom I lingered
To see human hands
Buoyantly intertwine

How pulsing tides toss you
How stubbornly you drift
And test these sharp waves
As though you summoned them

I dare you, bold humans
To untangle your arms
To plunge in my sea
And feel the blue chill
