BIRDS IN “EL PARAISO”
A vermilion flycatcher flutters
around on the shrubs,
bright red breast, black head,
could not be more beautiful jumping
from branch
to branch, hiding in the tall trees
in
the distance, coming closer to my
window.
A red slash against the blue sky,
impossible not to admire.
Two grackles walk back and forth
across the street,
their long black tails sweeping the
cobblestones,
determined and purposeful. Sometimes
one of them perches himself on the
dome
above the house and calls out
to who knows who - a mate? a
friend? us?
