You're A Clam

by Katy E. Murr

You're a clam,
tight shut,
moody and mysterious
and grumpy
as you said yourself
loving the water, boarding
near to the rocks
always down at the sea,
it’s your home -
You’re so damn
tightly closed. Impossible
to prise open, just let me...
But no, snap shut
Are you ever going
to let anyone in?
 
I don’t like clams,
But
"I like you."
