Senryu Series Iv: Seaside Stowaway Poem by Lillian Susan Thomas

Senryu Series Iv: Seaside Stowaway



Driving from the beach
backseat seashells clink: something
alive among bones?

Hermit crab wriggles.
I glance in rear-view mirror;
he cocks one eye at me.

His other eye hunts
for cover under bathing suits.
Then he disappears.

For months I search: no crab,
though sand and sea smell remains.
a stray flip-flop found.
