Pink Stilts

 


Wading alongside its reflection,

the Black-necked Stilt

steps delicately, yet deliberately

with pink, spindly legs.



Its black needle beak

pierces the smooth surface,

probes the silt beneath

like efficient tweezers,



advances in shallow water

with knobby knees

on pink stilts.
