A seagull
A seagull
with white lines
around its eyes
is walking on a boardwalk
in Atlantic City, U.S.A.
It looks at me
with one eye,
then turns its head
and I can see
symmetrical lines
around both eyes.
“What a beautiful
bird you are.”
The bird stands still
for a moment
in front of casino
her husband built
for Ivanka,
his wife.
The seagull looks
and then he trots
on the boardwalk
A connection
was broken.
