I am six feet from a blue heron. She extends her slender neck towards me, the water in diamonds all around her. I think, "You are an oracle. I will offer you a pearl and trouble you with a question." I say out loud, "Will I find love somehow?" But she looks away, not with disdain but with disinterest. She is a bird in her element, being a bird, not a mystery.
About Me
- Naomi S
- A few things I know for sure. That revolving doors make me nervous. That, sometimes, it takes courage to do the simplest things. That the moment in a theatre before the stage lights come on is exquisite. That poetry is often "one short step to the good ground (May Swenson)." That I love swimming anywhere but especially in swimming pools.
