The Dive

Like a statue
The cormorant stares
I hold my breath
For a movement

It finally leaps
From the dock 
Through the air
In an arc

Neck out stretched  
The cormorant hits
The still water
Like a knife

It comes up
The bird 
Holds a fish
In its beak

I had felt the moment 
Of satisfaction
When the cormorant
Caught the minnow
