These Behemoth

“They” speak of the tip of an iceberg,

but the tail of a whale,

the blowhole and the fin,

speak better, in depth,

of insinuations

and layered significance.

Personhood, inscrutable,

there, moving, signing,

meaning so much more

than is seen or heard

by us who speak of tips of the iceberg.

These behemoth

move beyond mere perception,

living fully.

Living,

full, soliloquy and eloquence.

A divine song for non-human ears

pours forth and calls forth

wonder, and whispers grace.
