Galapagos

Black, scaled skin.
chapped and drying.

Massive claws
for rock gripping.

White crusted nostrils
for salt spitting.

A sun warmed rock
to heat the blood.

A blue-green
sea-sky view.

A Jump into surf.
and a seaweed lunch.

My feet following
Darwin’s feet.

The photograph
a catalyst.

For memories
that overflow.
