shifting shape is other than what you’d think
half an edge has fewer predators. shallow then
duck into the oncoming wave, mother said
just another curving shadowed shape
like grandmother Janet did, wave

Yes. More than fond. I remember forever – when time, going away, she came down the driveway and waved to me till I was out of sight around the far corner of the block.

That’s how I sometimes see the harbor seals, underwater, moving, a shape I recognize and adore. Thanks de. (ie. my many many Montery Bay pictures posted)
