Last Breath


 I thought I was taking a photo of a wave. Then this seagull flew into my lens at the exact moment I clicked the shutter.  An instant of synchronicity. An instant of wonder. 

Like the moment of conception.
Like the moment of death.
A breath. Then no breath.

I can't get it out of my mind.
Nothing before it and nothing after it.
Just his last breath.
Imagined.
Stuck in my mind.
A seagull in flight
above the wave.
Snap. 
Gone.
But
forever alive 
in that 
instant.




Happy Christmas everyone.  Back in 2017.
