you forgot the conch, my fav: any of a various large spiral-shelled marine gastropod mullusks.
also, abalone: any of a genus (Halioris) of rock-climbing gastropod mollusks having a flattened shell of slightly spiral form that is lined with mother-of-pearl and has a row of apertures along its outer edge.
i guess i've got a thing for gastropod mullusks. lol.
Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars

Puddleriver, I swear it amazes me that you find such exquisite art to display on your blog.
That's more than just Googling skills.
