Great Blue Heron

Master of Stealth among the reeds,

Fish Snatcher, Frog Catcher,

neck looped tight to spring,

yet

frightened to flight

you labor to gulp air under your wings,

struggling to glide overhead while

trailing those comic-book,

stick-drawn legs.

time enough

restless edgy achy from the wait  time to unfurl sprout feel the sun shine
