(excerpt from collection)
but you are mine
brown and sharp as you glide through the tide
amorphous your prickles
oh, how you are the only ocean creature to swim backwards
you are either male or female,
you are the ocean's finest breath-taking worm-like mammal
the way you float in thin water and gravity pulls you nowhere
oh god sea-horse make me proud and gallop through the Arctic
sea-horse so smooth, so rich and creamy,
sea-horse ... do you enjoy yogurt?
-- from Mrs. Twister's Weird Tornado & Animal Poems
