One of these little guys has been hanging out in the dogwood tree outside my study window, plucking the last of the berries, then flitting up to the high branches of the pine to catch the sun. He spent a good ten minutes going back and forth this morning before heading deeper into the woods.

Cute!
The other day there was one of these little animals by the window of the gym – only, he was dead.
PLUMED HERMIT VALENTINE
How could this be orange plumage
without a proper yellow first
or blue this darkness disrobe
if light had not entered him
here on this narrow peninsula
call it bed or shorebird
ab insulo all that’s left
of a Roman aqueduct I loved
a smile floating down
think about it
how in everything
we’re held back
except in thinking of you
we’re already free.
