THE MABERLY WALK: NEST



from
The Maberly Walk: Nest

heron in its nest
knowing the stillness of sticks  
I watch

           
that luminous stone in the moss
is a small bird’s egg

           
seven-petalled star
unfolding overnight
who sees the sepals drop?

           
arum at the edge of the lake
give way to water lilies
