Sloppy sticky goop slogging
muck covered up when the moon
demands the tide up looking
out the harshness fades my eyes relax
no more squinting today no more
shallow breaths no more fear (more…)

You sit and wait
For the tide
To turn where you
Are hidden once again, feeding
Until full others marvel at the beauty
Your barnacles, intricate (more…)

Barnacles! This particular rock measured about 3 inches wide.
I haven’t seen barnacles since I was a kid, or at least that is what it felt like when I happened upon these this weekend. They are so delicate, I tried very hard not to harm any while I was admiring them. I had to really watch my step. Don’t you love the markings left on the rocks when the barnacles have fallen/broken off, I sure do.

Watch and wait
You know
It is coming
Don’t move dig
In with your toes, close
Your eyes you will feel (more…)
