excerpt from “Humpbacks” in American Primitive by Mary Oliver
Flying in the Light | x
national poetry month, day 22
Humpbacks There is, all around us, this country of original fire. You know what I mean. The sky, after all, stops at nothing, so something has to be holding our bodies in its rich and timeless stables or else we would fly away. * Off Stellwagen off the Cape, the humpbacks rise. Carrying their tonnage of barnacles and joy they leap through the water, they nuzzle back under it like children at play. * They sing, too. And not for any reason you can’t imagine. * Three of them rise to the surface near the bow of the boat, then dive deeply, their huge scarred flukes tipped to the air. We wait, not knowing just where it will happen; suddenly they smash through the surface, someone begins shouting for joy and you realize it is yourself as they surge upward and you see the for the first time how huge they are, as they breach, and dive, and breach again through the shining blue flowers of the split water and you see them for some unbelievable part of a moment against the sky— like nothing you’ve ever imagined— like the myth of the fifth morning galloping out of darkness, pouring heavenward, spinning; then * they crash back under those black silks and we all fall back together into that wet fire, you know what I mean. * I know a captain who has seen them playing with seaweed, swimming through the green islands, tossing the slippery branches into the air. I know a whale that will come to the boat whenever she can, and nudge it gently along the bow with her long flipper. I know several lives worth living. * Listen, whatever it is you try to do with your life, nothing will ever dazzle you like the dreams of your body, its spirit longing to fly while the dead weight bones toss their dark mane and hurry back into the fields of glittering fire where everything, even the great whale, throbs with song. —Mary Oliver

A whale flower pot for my Mom, for Mother's Day. (A mini pot, anyway!) One of her favourite things in earth are Whales, especially Humpbacks.
The plant is from my own collection of houseplants.

I tried something new this morning: copper humpback whale wall decor.
What do you think?
