Birds
winter migration
bare trees sprout black feathers
and chatter
Navy Blue Angels ~
syncopated flight at dusk
over bird island
birds hop in grass
on broken bleached weeds
feeders abandoned
Jenny wren
hides in toad weed
singing love songs
peek-a-boo
cock tailed wren
dives up the drain pipe
hummingbird sips
fuchsia cascade in a pot
pink and purple
late afternoon
spills citron on verdigris
hummer pulses red
birdsong stills ~
crickets cicadas peepers
sing full the darkness
one mockingbird and I replay the music again long into night
