(Leaf 6) – Looking Back
In October 2020, during the
short respite between the Corona lockdowns in the UK, I managed to visit
Cornwall on a short holiday with my parents. The weather was autumnal, but
warm. And one day, sitting on a cliff overlooking the sea while eating fresh-caught
crab sandwiches and drinking from a flask of hot tea, we saw two grey seals. A
male and a female, clearly having fun in the bubbling surge and swell of the surf.
Seen
and unseen,
white
foaming waves
– a grey
seal’s face.
