Into the Icy Sea – v4


We all took tentative, cautious
careful steps into the icy sea -
cold, cold, Maine salt water.

Unsure of the wisdom
of our temporary sojourn
walking out from shore;
Tide rising, coming in,
bringing numbing cold,
and a soup of baby jellyfish.

At least the cold
took their sting out.
