LORD OF THE ESTATE

 

 

A great white heron—

so startling white, whiter

than the sails of the boat

beyond it—lifts off

with an easy leap

into invisible air,

which it kneads with

its huge wings

to the time of heart-beats.

It tucks in its neck,

stretches its legs

behind it and circles

the salt marsh

like a lord assaying his estate.
