(Selkie Waiting)
.
She
knows her own salt,
formed of the souls of water
-y graves; plays
with her children
in the waves, casts
her spell on a lonely
moon.
She’ll seal
this night
with a brackish
kiss; just a
lost girl, breath
caught fast be
-tween
lung
and gills.
.
Cool word list from my Shawna.
Who knew there were other fantastical creatures in the sea besides mermaids?

GOOD JOB!
I like the fact that there are male selkies! To save all the women with those fishermen husbands who never come home!
“brackish kiss” – love that image.
This reminds me of you — always longing for the water 🙂
So lovely! And only you would think to pen of “brackish kiss.” Love it! Love you!
This is beautiful – breathes of the deep and I agree with the above comments, too!
