Octopia

Squiggly Squid of the tentative tentacles,

many armed Octopus,

centered, self-occupied, self-amazing,

self-amusing Medusa

of the tantalizing snaky hair!

Your eight arms,

moving fingers, are busily writing.

You make your own ink!

What do you think?

When you write in sand,

nothing lingers.

The waves wash away

the work of Your hand.

Be my Muse.

Inspire me!

Conductor of harmony!

Let me share the fluid vision of your inner eye.

I seek a peek

at the dream-wavering undulous wonder

of Your womb-world

down under.
