STILL LIFE ON BEACH
Hoping there is still life for this jellyfish,
and not ‘still’ as in ‘no longer alive'.
Hoping high tide carried this beauty
of a translucent creature back to its ocean home
along with the sandy, pretty seaweeds.
Why do we call them sea ‘weeds’.
Why must plants not propagated by humans be called weeds?
At least we do not call trees ‘weeds’
even if we treat them as such with our appetite for wood.
Back to the jellyfish.
Was it jellyfish inspiration that sparked
Chihuly’s art after he wandered Washington beaches?
