A young Island youth
wants to create a
new style beyond this
Yang we flow…
a Galapagueño tai chi
of iguana & heron
of sea lion, of giant tortoise
perhaps
of zayapa,* boobie or albatross
or the penguin
or the flightless
cormorant—
five sacred animals
of these Enchanted Isles
to remind us of our
place on this
Mother Earth
*Zayapa, a.k.a. Sally Lightfoot Crab (Grapsus grapsus)
