RAY SUCCRE
The Sealboy [from UNLIKELY LOVES}
RAY SUCCRE
The sealboy was dirty from yardplay and dogwrestle— how upset his strict mother was, and just before the Mass. He surfaced in an arch with fresh clothes, pleated pants and a churchy sweater, then dove to the bottom again while tripping into brush. The blackberry had smudged his temple, its cord had slit his cheek. The lick was charring, how his mother hurriedly cleaned him with saliva, streak of black down, on the way to the car, less black, lick, less black— By this cleaning the sealboy winced, but was freshened to her approval, was showable, on his way to his mother's church, a few more years.
