Octopi tell stories
like they dance, a dozen
ways at once, octopi

hold to rocks like it's
true love, they squeeze into
space too small
to hold them, have

muscles but no
bones, legs on
which not to stand.

An octopus can hold onto anything
and grapple the dark of deep water big as space.
Come with me tonight, because I
tell Octopus Stories too.

Octopi, octopuses, octopodes.  I went on an octopus kick recently, deciding on it for the base form of an original character named Amoebos.  At first I found them incredibly difficult to draw.  After some study I discovered that they are rhythm itself - or then the next thing to it.  Congratulations.  It takes a lot of sensitivity to inhabit something as alien to human beings as the octopus.
