gannet’s back

she leads
and follows

she does neither

she’s fishing

she’s blinding
herself on the hard
hit against
water

she’s so good at it

she checks herself
unfurls
falls through skin
like stone

with each strike
against fish
her eyes return
to rock

after a time

she will die
of experience
