THREAD: The Flightless Auks of the Pacific

1/7: The great auk is the only flightless bird in the North Atlantic, and its Latin name, Pinguinus, alludes to their iconic ecology. However, unbeknownst to most, there is a second line of extinct grounded auks called Mancallinae.

Grammar

Here, on the Atlantic, sunrise
the reversed syntax of my Seattle youth:

I marvel, still young, at what
it means to have been younger;

to see at last the parent
in parenthesis;

to read—for the first time—
whole chapters of my life

as an aside.

"moonrise"

inspired by a memory

a moonless night by the Atlantic,
entranced by dancing sparks on the horizon

crowned by a glowing aura,
like a vibrant city just out of reach,
something was emerging from the water.
its refracted light gleamed through the waves like magic
