Gift


N WIND 5 TO 10 KT WITH GUSTS TO 15 KT.
WIND WAVES 1 FOOT.
W SWELL 6 FT AT 12 SECONDS.

Walking well past the usual takeoff...
Rockfalls, mud and cloven hoofprints...
Pinnipeds lolling and shooting tubes...
Doing the rock dance in and out...
Left after left after left after left...
Clacking, clattering cobblestones...
That shift in unison like a school...
Of stonefish...dense and meaty...
Fish in a crystalline barrel...
A nearly perfect gift...
Off the 45th parellel.
