A hundred million years of evolution
Have made crystal clear
The vision of the osprey
Who can see from the sky
The fish that will feed their young.
Their eyes put back together all that
Refracted light.
They see through rainbows
And shimmering sunlight
And shadow.
They see supper.
A hundred million years
Have taught the osprey to see.
A hundred million years
Have taught the fish
T
he folly of flight.
