“ Turning to Seals “
by Suzán Jiván Mom

Turning to seals for help
cold and roiling waters
sheathed in sea ice
swimming dining
on fish and squid
surrounded
by colonies of penguins
living off of jellyfish
as seals wear tracking caps
surface and sink
measuring depth lateral distance
water temps and salinity
emitting precise electronic pictures
within the strongest
of mid-winter bone chills
continents shifting
into transmitted circuitry
