Marie-Andree Auclair: “Breach”

sparkling fish swim night stories
blue against indigo caves

temporary captives in tidal pools
probing the chinks

angular arms of coral
worn to deceptive roundness

cut the soles of un-calloused trudgers
who collect portraits of sea anemones

and pay in skin’s integrity
their admission to another world
