Hidden in the Tide Pools

Whole complete worlds
unaware of my own
oblivious to my presence,
unless I block the light
living, between the tides,
hidden in the tide pools
The eyelashes of the barnacles
swaying coral on a snail
a crab, an urchin, a tiny starfish
an entire universe between the rocks
still moving with the moon
shimmering in the sun
