The Imprint - a photo on Flickriver

The Imprint

            A muggy summer day 
in the garden,
photographing 
Emperor gum moth instars.

A Karearea shrieks 
from behind me
I know this sound well enough 
to turn around quickly.

Whoosh, Whoosh
two birds speedily 
bank through 
our garden cloister

Cutting the air 
at break neck speed
The falcon, hot on the tail 
of her next tiny victim.

Zip they were gone. 
A 'WOW' burst forth from 
my mind and body. 
The cats eyes are black.

And mine are imprinted 
with the unmistakably 
stealthy silhouette 
of this hunter of the sky.

Quite extraordinary 
to have a raptor flyby
at the edge of suburbia 
in little Naenae.

I tried my best to capture the silhouette with a biro pen on paper. The edges ended up squiggles so I squiggled him in too. Such a distinctive shape they are. Think it came out all right. I used it to overlay on a photo of the inside of a card & sent it to my good friend Mark. He asked for a copy but so far I haven't managed to make the digital creation real yet.

Wishing you a fabulous weekend.
