I Dream of Hankie Birds

I Dream of Hankie Birds In New Orleans there is a park called Audubon. In dreams I go there, see the hankie birds--a show of snow-white feathers that is stark against the tan of trees. A spark, a flash--the camera catches all the flurry as birds obey a call. They fly up all at once, and wave-- white-bodied half notes leap the stave of branches browning in the fall.
