Mostly Water by Sandy Carlson Their grey bodies curve with the grey waves. Dolphins negotiate water by Becoming it, though they draw breath from The blue space between heaven and earth, Weaving sky and water into a Living fabric, each breath a thread, each stream Of bubbles, a seam. A Cuban boy Dropped through the mesh, an ungainly pup. Dolphins taught him to breathe, bringing him To the surface of the grey water Between Cuba and Miami. He Said-he was five at the time-they kept Him alive. Some folks called it magic. © 2002 by Sandy Carlson. All rights reserved. Home
