MAPoet: Move On

Move On

I don't know how long

the heron has been

fishing when I spot it.

It stands in the water

and focuses forward.

Lowers its head to

take a closer look.

Barely moves its feet

to inch forward.

Goes through several

repetitions of this routine.

Suddenly, it jumps

onto the ledge that

runs the width of

the lake, folds its

wings and moves on.
