The Otter
January 14, 2008
The sleek body of the otter cut through
the thick cold water
his wet fur shining
I could hear his sigh
his longing to
indulge himself forever
I was nine years old then
I still feel the rush of the water in me
I still taste the pine air
the trees around me spread-eagled
asking the expanse above for
more light
just one more starry pinprick
to thrive on
then delight picked me up
a steady current of air
a steady place I believed in
and I was the otter
I was the strongest swimmer
I knew I was meant for more
