Kit Kelen #1353 - towards the equinox


1353
towards the equinox

parrots in the mandarin
gay lorikeets and honey tongues
birds of the bower bluer than sin  

some dawdlers, some warblers
some lightning swift
as if a special place were sung

thud landers
indelicate of beak
who sway a limb till still

swoop, dive
to be among the thrill

gust buffeted
heavier than air

strangers to what we call toil
breezy birds
who cannot care
and drop the skins and pips
who leave their leavings everywhere

it’s not their nests they soil
