Fat land, moss wadded, pushes
against my feet, carrying me
to the bridge; held in the scent
of warm brine and red fescue.
Swaddled by wind fingers, I lean
over the stone span, beguiled
by silver motion beneath
wave distorted surface – flowing
between aviary islands – notched
scales in teeming murmuration.
A bridled guillemot skims
the liquid veneer until
the inevitable spill
breaks its argent tension.
Somnolent scales separate
in a myoclonic dive for survival.
