1.
Egret
flashes white,
rises
over cypress knees
protruding
from swamp.
2.
Bicycling
down a rural road
in
Isle of Wight County, Virginia,
I
watch a white egret
take
off from a swamp,
rising
quickly over cypress knees.
3.
Dammit, keep your eyes on the road,
I
say to myself,
and
quickly correct the bicycle’s path
to
avoid running into the swamp.
