Seal Immovable
More graceful in full blubber
than a ballroom dancer,
a seal slides down banisters
of spiral staircases
in ice-cold currents.
Smiling like a cat,
slipping into water,
swimming down and up,
fat from fishing,
sunning, sleeping on the rocks,
I could never push you over.
Seal immovable:
magnificent, obese.
