Hinged like a drawbridge, its embattled gate Guards the glow of its inner ornament- The ghost of the oyster that activates the pearl- The soul within, the world without the pale. I run my fingers over its grooves and scars Encrusted with lichen and barnacle and weed- Medals won in combat, the outer war It wages with the sea. I feel the tide Surge around my ankles-on every side Suction, pressure, a tugging intensity Heightened by the grip of what I hold in my hand,  Surrender gently, and step back up on land.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 148\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 20, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42723594469439,"sku":"9780595442270","price":19.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/baf71c5674a06b7b53a911b2ab623eea.webp?v=1765099688","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/things-of-the-sea-belong-to-the-sea-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
