calls out of the fog
then back she sinks
*
a rustle
two squeaks
then silence

the skinny old heron
pecks its own shadow

a soaring eagle
brightens the mountain

being
or just sleeping?

the red kite silently

the skull of picked clean heron bone
points me home
it’s beak sharp and sure in my pocket

fills the estuary

like a scallop in a shell –

april snap –
swallows
shrieked
came

sweet peas
half dead in the cold frame
