Pennants

Wedged into burrows
across a blue shale
the hinged shell
hides its soft form

Fossilized

As sailors lament
over selkie threads
on gold dusted shores

An ocean's stories
are stored in its stone
in its shapes and shadows
in its pirates' lore

Pirate's Brew

Shanties are woven
from rockweed
clinging to the shore
from brutal and brutish
the daggers and crosses
lying across its floor

Nets are adrift
and sea whistle slips
between the desert cays

White Lace of the Moon

The compass is set
needle balanced on its pivot
now, to learn the points
and, on waking
to cast the sounding line
