Hierophany

Poetry

A curved black shape sheds water,
obscuring my excitement:

no whale here, only
the murky outline
of an offshore rock.

But by what am I then clarified
as it watches this world through me,

warm and alert inside my skin,
pressing outward against my roundness
as if I were an old bay window.
