Summer 2014: Poetry
Aurelia Aurita: Moon Jelly
by Lois Rosen
No one cares about undress in the sea Milky pink lingerie can’t camouflage my stomachs and radial canals Aren’t we all water-filled animals Diaphanous parachute transparent moon I contract and expand contract and expand no heart spine eye ear nor anxious brain Muscle pulsation flings plankton shrimp mollusks against my mucal skin I sway delicate flagellate solicitation but don’t think you can grab or fondle me Call me Medusa Saucer Umbrella Silk Camisole Belle I lurk below your ocean’s shallow rim No spearless Lolita venomous I sting
