The morning sky is dark and heavy
with dark clouds that hang low
even as the sky slowly lightens
from black to navy to deep blue.
In the midst, the jabiru appears
on the dirt path between two basins,
lifting one leg at a time to cross
to the center. From my location,
its black and white feathers blend
together into a sharp silhouette
against the fog as it ambles,
unhurried and focused on its goal
somewhere inside the gray.
