Turtle Devil

Summary

Legend of Maui

Green soft quiet Maui bay water

Gurgle gurgle

Lap lap lap

Snorkel

Shwoosh hiss swoosh

Fish below

Eye dart gone

Ahead

Lazy unconcerned her slow

Slow stroke

My fins

Flap flap

Flapflap

A glance back

Slow stroke

Flapflapflapflapflap

Closer

Slow stroke

Flapflapflapflap

Slow stroke

Flapflapflapflap

Arms pull

Flapflapflapflap

Arms pull

Slow stroke and smile

Only dark to darker blue-black below

Flapflapflapflap Flapflapflapflap

Arms pull arms pull

Flapflapflapflap Flapflapflapflap

Arms pull Arms pull

Fast stroke fast stroke to empty deep blue

Ahhhh

Head up to check

Half mile from shore
