Written for Paul Brookes' ekphrastic challenge - one poem a day in April 2021.
Snipe
Mottled back disguise
Tread gently on salt washed sands Rise like a dragon
Plunge your strong bill deep
Lie still and silent
Moon slides across morning skies
Moon slides across morning skies
Trigger finger tight
Pull smoothly, your body still.
Death comes in the dawn
Death comes in the dawn
