BIRDS
IN “EL PARAISO” (San Miguel de Allende, Mexico)
A
vermilion flycatcher flutters around 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?
