aquatic musings

Nothing to say, except-
penguins.
penguins, those steady creatures,
balancing on their blocks of ice.
Nun costumes waddling over
frozen depths,
stomach slidding across tundra.
Fish in mouth,
flightless afternoons,
monogamous couples.
Soft white bellies below,
black from above.
Covered in camouflage
from dawn to dusk.
