Dolphins!

Living gems

leaping from delphinium deep,

dream of the delphine oracle

in her sleep,

paired diadems in aerial display,

erotic interplay,

in fog and day,

in mist star-shower kissed,

in eerie silence, absence of all wind,

twinned, finned,

host of sparks, of crescent arcs,

ghost dancers,

question marks

needing no answers,

tree of mobile poetry!

Few are we

who've seen

your choreography,

your fluid synchrony,

sky ballet at sea!
