Orca

7:35
chilly morning in water
we braved wind
one finger pointing
first to see
black and white
jumps through water
black fins trail

encircling our boat
modes of transportation
leaves time
to travel and brave
wind
watching a pod
strong and majestic
ancient

swimming
carry my piscean spirit
back to sea
the beauty of
an orca
