AWILIX - MOONGODDESS
splash, splash! - hits a tail
whoosh! - spouts a blowhole
her silvery head
pierces the surface
points at my face
my lips feel her touch
unheard sonar vibrates body cells
unseen electron waves accelerate affinity
radiant gamma rays transit nuclei
swimmingly
graciously
timelessly
connected
transfixed
transmuted
next she leaps a quicksilver arc
flips over and over
clicks clicks clicks
and pretends she is only
a dolphin
* Awilix (pronounced Ah-wee-leesh) means Moongoddess in a Maya language)
