from a chair in the house
I looked up from my Apple
to the Magnolia tree because a flicker of red
caught my eye
There are no blooms this early in March
but from the action in the trees
I saw 2 Chickadees
& knew the fingers of Spring
were tapping.
Then a quick flick of red
teased me again
from the cedar this time
and then onto the pine
A Cardinal
the one who woke me up
made himself clear
to me
to my dog
to the whole neighbourhood
as he sang his tune out to his love
