Egret

On slender legs,
too slender it almost seems
to support her weight,
she walks.

As sunlight shafts
fail to pierce morning greyness,
she walks.

Through water
among reeds
she walks.

She pauses,
dips to catch a fish.
Breakfast finished,
she walks.

Gracefully striding,
carefully picking her way
among slime-covered tires
that choke the bank,
she walks.
