The Great Blue Heron statue,
standing still in shallow water,
begins a slow-motion ballet.
A picture of patience,
leaning over its own reflection,
holding a pose of predation.
Cattail leaves swaying gently,
frame the backdrop for
the anticipated attack.
Living spear thrusts.
Calm water splashes.
Heron pierces prey.
