Honu and I

thegentletraveler

December 21, 2018


“Hey you,”

Said turtle.


His eyes

Were like volcano rock-

Dark, porous, unpredictable.


“Welcome

To the other side

Of the world.”


In snorkel mask,

T-shirt,

Awkward limbs

I made like seaweed,

Unmoving

Except by the currents.


My dumb brain

Could only think

One word-

Love.
