HIPPOCAMPUS

 

 

He nurtures every bubble

of her incubated thought,

 

wraps his tail tight

as a newborn’s finger

around blades

of swaying seagrass

on which she feeds,

 

gestating litters of their

s-like likeness: spiny,

snub-nosed, smiling.

 

Tiny conjugated equines:

verb-like, totally cute.

So soft, subtle, sophisticated-- such style... soporific sleepy-time songs, sweeties. Sleep on....

Like sea horses? I have always loved sea horses!
And by the way it's the male that does all the baby sitting, right?
Hmmm...perhaps the next phase in our evolution :)
Love xx

Ah yes, the place where Hippos go on holiday, putting up their tents and sitting around the fire, eating mud, mud, glorious mud pies.



Yup, where the emotions and memories are held. Though this reads like someone caring for a loved one who has a form of dementia, becoming child and baby like in terms of their needs. The most devastating of all illness' is this!

Oh boy, you have spun a tale that is right up there with the senile (now called Alzheimer's) of the world seeing cute little sub-nosed thing smiling at them from their cereal bowl. Gotta love it.
