Baltimore Oriole

We both reach for a camera
both forget to click on the image
as a flight of rainbows takes wing.

Tangerine buds bloom into a sherbet fountain.
Orange and black ride a ray of sunlight.

“Phew, did you catch it?”
“No I got nuked by the moment!”

“Yes, better that way.” she replied thoughtfully.
