Porpoise
This morning I pulled a porpoise from the sea:
Without thinking I reached in,
plucked it out
With my small hands
And laid it on the pier.
Words of Prey
Words of prey hunt
smaller words
and simple marks
like full stops, commas
and even the occasional
hyphen, if they happen
to catch one making a dash
for cover.
A Whale is a Kind of Spaceship
Technically speaking a whale is a kind of spaceship
Except it flies through the sea
And never goes anywhere near the moon.
