Whorls and hic-cups
the jackdaws.
The hidden nest
of magpies.
The storm came in days
bringing rain.

Magpies plumped
crown of sunset.
A forever butterfly
goes singing.
Yes, parakeets head south,
pigeons turn to leaves.
The blue crow
tail wagging.
There are trees
the swallows said
before they went.

~~
On her side
the cat sleeps.
The jasmine
a far off stream.
Brick upon brick
of silence.
The geese are grazing in the shade.
Reaching the well
the sun rests.
