Think how they must look now, the mangrove keys
lying out there unresponsive to the lightning
in dark, coarse-fibred families,where occasionally a heron may undo his head,
shake up his feathers, make an uncertain comment
when the surrounding water shines.—Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979), from “Little Exercise”
