Literature Text

in the coal-fired dusk the ocean
lies like silvered glass

the once-roaring tumult still
as a sleeping child

there are ghosts here; alien
creatures from another world

milky white discs tinted
with a pale blue

they glide through the sea
like down from a torn quilt

or a hundred lacy
dresses on a ballroom floor

soft silken saucers tumbling
through the cool water

so delicate a touch
might tear them apart
A poem I wrote last quarter for a creative writing class.
It's about Moon Jellies.
