Kim Rodrigues Poet Choka

A Flower With Wings

a red-winged blackbird
quiescent as a flower
until he's riled up

the breeze of his wings
majestic, dictorial
tourist nudged onward

depressed cone flower
with heaviness of his form
far above the nest

the sentry's hawk-eyes
sharp and alert to movement
in city's garden 

meanwhile the gal
shares her snapshot and story
over and over

the beauty and rage
of this handsome specimen
illuminated
