A Moment

In the fading evening light, a busy fly,
a busy bird in cloud, searches for 
something tasteful: an army  
helicopter passes overhead;
it’s young pilot sweats and thinks 
of love, not seeing the bird the fly, 
or tasty titbit, below.

The helicopter, the bird, the fly
all flying, buzzing in synchrony.
