Seahorses

by Amy Dennis
illustrated by Jennifer Zizman

 

Seedlings

 

                       of small

                                 

                                                      stallions

 

                                                      sprinklings

 

                                                                                  from the sky

 

                                  surfing past soil

 

                       sifting past sand                

                      

                       sinking

 

                       sinking

 

           into

                                  the

 

                       sea.

 

 

We sit on shells                 

as secret saddles

when we swim with them

 

                                             salt-blue.
