Shells

The house of snail upon his back
protects from weather and attack
though just who might attack a snail
is a question I must fail to answer.

The turtle in his turtle shell
is shell-tered well.
The only skin that shows a bit
on him
is nose and toes a bit
on him.

I have a blue coat with a hood
like a private tent or roof
water, every weather proof.
Warm, secure
a snuggery
it often walks around with me.
A home away when I’m away
letting all the stars in
keeping out the damp grey.
True
good
blue
hood
it suits me well
my shell.
(Poem by Karla Kuskin)
