Paddling stealthily
through silk seas
we hold our breath
as the otter surfaces.
His log body floats across the waves
head raised
then with a flick
he is gone
long tail sliding into darker depths.
Up again
like a champagne cork
bobbing and chomping
on a luckless fish.
We hear bones crunching.
There’s snow in the air
and the ridges are dusted
like Christmas Stollen.
A cloud the size of Scotland
presses down on the heron’s languid flight
and a rubber-headed seal
pounces on a bouy
a toy to play with in its loch-sized bath.
Then hail hits the waves
A pounding of diamonds
Beautiful and sharp.
Mica Schist captures the brilliance
In its ripples
Nature’s mirror ball
Reflecting the rainbow’s fraying end.
We float home
with eiders whistling in our ears
the urgent flock of redwings
in the twinkling of our eyes
our heads ablaze
with birds and beasts and light.
