Tide Pools

Tide pools
caught in the rocks
fishbowls without bubblers
waiting for the tide change

Microcosm of the sea
under glass

Stop and watch
See the world, like Jacques or Felipe
adrift on land
inside the Calypso

A tiny crab
Brushes the fronds of the anemone
Urchins with spines and flesh
swaying sargassum

A universe
in the puddle
with the rocks
waiting for the tide
Governed by Luna
