Osprey
Port wing folds
Steep spiral toward the fiery water below
Fish dart in all directions
She springs upward faster than light
Into the blinding sun
She circles the brilliant scene
One mind
One muscle
Tail and wings tucked
She stops
Necessity become pleasure
This is evolution
Her dark eyes pierce the water below
Bending the scene to her will
She flips and drops
Propelled by will
She pierces the water
Then rises
Water flying in every direction
Rainbows of reflection
Off the shiny prey
Into an unknown infinity
She and her nutritious companion
Disappear
And we continue on our way
