SEAGULL

 

What does a seagull

know about being a seagull? What does it feel

as it hangs above the cliff edge adjusting its wings to the wind, turning its bright yellow eye

this way and that?

 

Watching it hover

then fall away sideways and, gathering speed, glide so effortlessly down to a gleaming wet rock,

we are moved by its movement. We feel it like music.

 

But what of the seagull?

 

(Bob Rogers)
