Description
I have cast off weight to glide,
lost light in the undersky.
Where my cousins plod,
I rainbow arc,
backlit swiftness,
sleek among the butterflies.
Close to grace, I open,
lotus-like,
a fine fruit,
toothsome,
its bruised flesh threshed
by my winnowing maw.
Gorged, I sheathe my
glass scimitars, and
weave into darkness,
seeking further sweetness.
This piece was written in October 2017, from of an Allographic workshop about animal poetry with Robin Lamboll . Sea Angels are, essentially, marine snails that ditched their shells a long time ago to glide through the water with their "wings". (Well, sort of – read the Wikipedia article for more details...)
Look out for this and its Lesser Spotted friends in my poetry book Spectral next year!
I enjoyed drawing this - the first time I've used colours since I started drawing last year. Source image by Alexander Semenov .
