Today I saw a heron on a post.
Viewed at eye level from the back
of a motorbike.
Upright, stood to attention.
Watching. But not watching me
behind my visor.
Not watching me – human on
two wheels going as fast as I can.
Without wings.
The heron flies
aligning head, body, legs.
Stream-lined, stream bound.
I align my head,
body, legs with
man and machine.
We ride for the ferry, he for the fish.
One world, two elements.
I see you heron. I want to be seen.
Probably the day we rode up to Mallaig on the V-Strom for an ice-cream 😋
