- A Jelly-Fish by Marianne Moore
- Visible, invisible,
- A fluctuating charm,
- An amber-colored amethyst
- Inhabits it; your arm
- Approaches, and
- It opens and
- It closes;
- You have meant
- To catch it,
- And it shrivels;
- You abandon
- Your intent—
- It opens, and it
- Closes and you
- Reach for it—
- The blue
- Surrounding it
- Grows cloudy, and
- It floats away
- From you.
