Chesapeake Bay Oysters: Natures Treat
A glint of light – Sparks
Drawn Interest – Bottom Rocks
Water Races – Swift with this tide
Shimmering light – Bottom dances to syncopated rhythm
More moons than rocks – Some yawn
Rocks don’t yawn!
A smile – hints of motion
More than sun and surf – partners in deception
You bend, you stare.
More than meets the eyes – Natures transformers
Your hand under the surface,
you touch – a click
Moonscapes craggy surface – oval – edged stone
Above the water – a rock again
Ready to skip across the slew – or fell a bird for supper
No! – More lies within!
A slight line, a fringe
The thin edge weeps
What would a god hide inside such a strong box?
Twisting and puling – no bonds do break
Stone knapps stone – searching for the point within
At last a crack – the gods tears weep out
Your blade finds purchase
Wedge and Pry to find the prize
Such a vault – Gods Food?
Taste it? – Eat it?
There must be a first
Sweet tear drenched morstle
Heavens Elixir – Hungers Reliever
Natures New Treat
