More Galapaghosts

LAVA
Black lava rocks
Regal like marine iguanas in service to the sun
And to Sally Lightfoot
Walks across my back like turtles marching
To the sea
Waves crash your shores as I would a hundred times a day if I had my way
Vertebrae die on your belly, dry there
Turtles nest, little birds too
- Lounging marine iguanas
Leaving bones and scars of bones skins on scabs
Crisp in the sun
Wow. I love this.
Gorgeous painting of a moment – felt like I was there!
