Sea Horse - object writing exercise Jan 27th

A sea horse dances around the aquarium like it is being dealt from a pack of cards and one by one a house is built, a fine structure, spidery web structure, but so easily fractured . Floating about like an astronaut in a space capsule, weightless, free, hovering in the water. A sunbird of the tank, tiny wings beating faster than an athletes heart, pounding vessels coursing through veins, singing the song of the sirens, the sea horse wings emit the siren song of the aquarium.
Touching a sea horse is like running your hand over a rough brick wall, it’s like they could crumble at any moment, but they’re not dry, like mortar or sandstone. A seahorse tastes like toast in the morning with no butter or jam, dry and brittle. A seahorse smells like a suit of armour, metallic and tough. They’re always on guard against something- a Meerkat of the water, not quite so manic.
Inside the tank its a one way world, they can only look out and see our world through a giant difuse lens of water, like when your looking into a magniying glass from the side, all out of shape and the light bent at funny angles making shapes loom like interstate trucks around a bend , whooshing past, pummeling your car temporarily halting in the turbulent backwash of wind that follows, then smooth sailing again, boring, black ribbon, occasional thumps through the steering column of badly repaired sections of road, reaching for the water bottle and undoing it while you drive, the bottle warm from sitting in the sun, the water tepid in your mouth…..
