It's Still Life

AprPAD — Day 6

ai image seagull flying over the sea with white cliffs in the background

THE GULL

in flight

white cliffs,
wheeling heights,
horizons loosening
at their edges

he is a shipful of sky

wings swept clean
by a lick of salt

he watches

waves
fold into themselves

    Beachy Head & the Seven Sisters… one of my favorite places to fly.

      … and my favourite place to be. It reminds one of everything of importance.

      They are so much fun to watch, although pesky if you’re trying to eat a sandwich. 😂
