The Hermit Crab
By Xavier X
Published 3 August 2024
A life-like glow of orange, yellow and gold.
Hiding,
Eating,
Thriving,
Then numbing down at the end of the day.
Dancing to sleep,
Leaving us with wonder,
Then leaving.
The wonder they seek,
Moving up and down,
Glistening in the breeze under the hot blazing sun,
To blue hermit crabs,
To red hermit crabs,
To all hermit crabs,
They come,
They go,
They rule.
