reading of an escaped parrot 100 years ago
recalling one in a car 30 years ago
the bluebirds fly away
daylight fading
moments left for a short walk
flowers dangle bumblebees upside-down
bluebird duo flashes past
taking joy with them
the bright red feeder sways - -
was that the first hummingbird?
across a stroke of dusk magenta
dark clouds - tears of rain
streak the injured Earth
chilly winds tugging
a slender thread from now to past
meeting before, again
stocking up holding
tight just in case -
forgetting to see now
thinking too hard
about painting flowers
they wither under pressure
