Selkie

SELKIE

–noun

Scot.
a mythical creature that looks like a seal in water but assumes human form on land.



Here we are
Looking into each other’s minds
The selkie who has forgotten about being human
The human who has forgotten about being a seal
Land and water locked
By a moment’s mind lapse
Yet her eye is my eye
And my heart beat is hers by right
