On Jellyfish
Delicate pale lavender gauze in constant fluid motion,
Tantalizing and terrible.
Finely sheer and shimmery silken strands
Stream liquid translucence in watery lace -
Beautiful symmetry.
Floating and gracefully pulsing beneath -
Deep in a salty underground, suspended in dusky dark.
They cluster together, shining, with myriad tentacles adrift.
Cellular primitive beckoning…
Gossamer jellyfish thrive.
