Whale Song
For Abigail
It came to me from
out of the blue.
A black and white
sea of scribe, long ago trees—
vessels carrying worlds
on their slim, noble
backs—the white
white whale
logged ageless in estuaries
of mind so that we might see something—
more—in mammalian
lineage: something
like kinship.
Not the monstrous
menace of Ahab obsession,
but a wonder of mystery
breaching surfaces,
planes, depths.
Holding them,
also.
S/he—keeper of nature,
of folly and fool, of pilgrim—appeared
in the still winter night risen
by a tender tuning of one
who shares this love
of brine, of voyaging words,
vistas beyond horizons,
and a moon full of
Aquarian sun
kindle.
One sensing a
selfhood in doubt, at sea,
in want of the soft pulse
of connection.
The sweet milk
of a great
white
whale;
force of a
white ray's
reflecting
much.
Balm
for an
esprit
forsook by
the madness
of inhumanity,
its long forgetting
what it is to
swim
free.
Oft outside
of sapient circles,
as was he narrating the
tale of merciless, deadly hunt,
of monomaniacal man, a myopic mankind,
outcast from the norms of its appetites,
its epic, boundless reaching,
I am touched, by this
light heart.
This ampleness of form
traveling primordial channels,
navigator of dark tides, unmapped veins,
warm of blood and bond
—not for the stalking,
like the sweet of those
who sip flows of flowers,
a bounty shared——not
for the taking.
It is hard to be
human.
To survive
indwelling seas
of survival at all cost
without losing life,
without taking it.
We are not lords of the land,
nor its waters from whence
we've come.
So long ago.
So far away.
So deep within
the vast currents
we hold, we shed,
we surface
for air.
And find another
of feather or fin,
the singular
swirl of a
finger's
flesh.
Thus
buoyed.
Found.
Borne home.
I am Ishmael,
too.
