Penguin

by Michael Harrison

This stone I set at your feetAs my courtship gift to you At the white summer’s end On Antarctica’s icy shore. Later you lay your egg And ease it on to my feet. You turn and walk away, Black going into the blackness. I stand, Emperor of this land, My back to the blistering wind, Shifting my feet with care Through the dark of sixty days.

Will you return as the egg hatches,Fat, and with belly full to feed Our young? Will you find us here Amidst this blinding snow? Yes, and I must now walk My shrunken self the hundred icy Miles to open sea, then, fattened, The hundred back, my belly lardered. And so through all the long dark We trudge, or stand, under the howling sky. In the fading summer I will bring again The honest gift of a stone.

Reveal Explainer

It is a mating ritual among penguins to select an attractive stone and give it to the female. This is a bit like someone might give someone flowers when going on a date to impress them. • Verse 1 – In search of a mate, the male penguin presents the female with a stone in their icy habitat.
