I wasn't sure if it was a stick, a smudge I wasn't sure if I was below, above A trick of light and shadow Sometimes it's hard to know Where did you come from? From oil? From ocean? Was I not meant to notice? Then you disappeared Did I miss you? Did I hit you? Are you breathing? Am I dreaming? And then a shock - it moved A twitch, a groove Did I give up too soon? Egret or loon? An eye reflecting my light Did I give up too soon? Heron, egret, or loon?
