Eyesight

against the lucifer strike
of a kingfisher’s
like any other
kingfisher’s
gold and blue

for one moment
remarkable thing
a grey reedpit
in dull rain
came into view

{Ends}

Spotted today, in Far Ings, south bank of the Humber. My first kingfisher since Mount Usher Gardens, Ashford, County Wicklow, maybe five years ago now.
