Eons had passed
Since when they had
Their skins
Stolen
By man.
They learned to love
The life they had
Yet dreams
Cried hope
Aground.
Till secrets told
By men at night
Got heard
And sang
Around.
And off they went
The selkie all
Safe in
Their skin,
Unbound.

The repose of this seal makes me smile … The serene surrender to a nap, oblivious to walkers by; the wannabe-seals of the rocks behind; the temporary real-estate afforded by low tide; the breathing surf that must be humming onto sand; the calm potential for the world around.
