Love Story with Birds - Derek Furr

Descriere Love Story with Birds - Derek Furr

\nThe artist guides our eye to the clutter of the room\n \nand the quality of light on the apples, and we wonder. She\n \nattunes our ear to the scratch of the pen hurrying to write\n \nthe most earnest supplications before self-consciousness\n \ntakes over. Surely the fact that I worry means something.\n \nSurely my room of so many days holds stories worth\n \nsetting down. Consequence is an act of imagination.\n \nEveryone wants to imagine a consequential life. (from In My Room)\n \n \n\n \nA heron slips along the shoreline as if on rice paper. A\n \ngreat angler, he will place a reflective object on the water's\n \nsurface-a pin oak leaf, for example-and watch for a fish\n \nto investigate. The heron's patience, driven by necessity, \n \nfar outstrips mine. Fifteen minutes in and I lower the\n \nbinoculars to look for other birds. Meanwhile, the green\n \nheron waits, motionless, seemingly dispassionate, until a\n \nfish is in range and he strikes. Is it hyperbole to compare\n \nthe jolt to lightning? His long neck shooting out and\n \nsnapping back, he breaks the water's surface like a diver\n \nwith barely a ripple and comes back with the catch. He is\n \nfed because he waited, quiet and watchful. (from Green Heron)\n
