EXERCISING OUTSIDE DURING COVID-19



















At Bargang Beach a solitary elderly returns to his car ski walking  then standing in front of the car  he twists and holds  twists and holds  side bend hold  side bend hold  Breathe in hold tucking chin in  breathe out shoving chin out A Eurasian Coot does bottoms up dives  chin out swallow  chin out swallow  bottoms up dive several times then move on A Purple Swamphen practises ‘Flying like a Crane’ from Five Animal Qi Gong standing on one leg stretching her other leg and that wing backwards slowly with perfect balance massaging her heart and lungs The kayaks return to shore gliding in like orange and white swans Other couples cycle and walk Soloists jog or stand still contemplating lake or life 
 
The white Hilux is back we are neighbours again I’ve also seen that ute before realize he’s the pissing fisher guy dub him The Slasher A small green bird lands on the mirror that sharp black line of beak a black outline edging the folded wing the white strip under the dark of eye He flies off (I moved) I take a call discuss workshops online once just an option now the new world for all of us and I have so much to catch up on Three resident swans mooch by legs paddling underwater bills tangerine against their black heads and bodies the tips catching light three floating stars On my other side a passionate young couple have to exercise control
