Heron Poem by Richard George

Heron

Rating: ★4.5


Grey pterodactyl,
you are too slow for our time:
your dangling legs and wing-span
set an ample target
for the murder of hoodies.

Faster, faster
every year you watch them fly:
you land, turn trigger statue
and catch and eat your only friend,
the primordial fish.

Richard George
