Whale Wayfarers

Whale Wayfarers By Mark Stucky Are you obsessed like Captain Ahab, horizon-bound to harpoon that whale? Could that addiction shipwreck you and drown loved ones surrounding you? Is your Pequod-like quest worth the possible price? Or are you oblivious like Jonah, blithely sleeping through the maelstrom while willfully avoiding the call and ignoring those who need you? Will surging storm swells swallow you, and only a whale of a tale can save you? (First published in Agape Review, 9 Dec. 2022. See also my poem “Reluctant Rogue Redo?” for more ponderings on Jonah’s adventures.) (Photo by 12019 on Pixabay.com.)
