Pelican at Maroochydore
The long beak
turns sideways,
clacks across
the breast like
scissors. No drops
of blood there
to feed its young
like in the stained
glass window
just inside
the back left-hand
door of the Cathedral
of the Blessed
Sacrament
in Christchurch
where the Saviour
is shown
in biblical terms
as a pelican.
Iâd say itâs just
drying out its
feathers or
searching for
nits. The crinkled
lemon patches
round the white
-ringed eyes
(which are close
-set and comical)
are rather beautiful.
The eyes themselves
take great care
not to look at me
but I know
theyâre taking
me in. The best
thing by far
is the pink
designer handbag.
