Horseshoe Crabs at the Edge
a book of the ones who have always come and of the kite with a long tail that steadies
William Vincent Carleton
With the high tides, the horseshoe crabs come to the shore as they always have, their shells curved like old shields. Lúmine kneels and watches without touching, while Líam adds a long tail to steady his kite. A book about very old things, met with patience at the water's edge.
