The Osprey (Whiting Bay)

By Jim Mello

 

The Osprey

Rises

On the currents of air

To hover

Wings triangled

To soar

Spiral

On the wind

Against the wind

Over, under, above

In

The wind

Eyes piercing the waters of the bay

Sun dazzled

To beeline

Smash face first

The waters

Of potential satiation

Only

To rise again

With or without

The necessary food.
