poem based on the picture "Billie and Seabird" by Corey Arnold




saltwater struck 
her icy eyes, her strong 
wind tested chin, the way 
her hair falls, storm tossed,  
like seaweed laid to rest 
across the deck of her 
cheek, just 
recently torn from deep, 
such ferocious placidity, 
inviting the bird 
to rest against her
motherly curves, the bird 
accepting, almost attempting 
to suckle above 
that sliver of moon 
peeks beneath 
the wave she wears 
over a heart
marked by ink.






Corey Arnold Billie and Seabird, 2011
