Nudge From Afar

Rust flaked signposts,
  from dew-stain,
     era enigmatic,
       omen, symbol,
           scratched by,
       yellow fog weather,
             floating visual, 
          or pigment’s,
    crumpled inmost span,
     waned crossing,
   I peer  with,
    hazed whimsy,
 on my prime flush,
   streetscape  ambit,
what is destination,
  but infinity of kismet,
elliptic nudge from afar,
  “BLINDLY” lolling in,
     circular pursuit,
then founding paradigm,
  raise the “BLINDS,”
wisps of unearthly whisper,
almost orange-red robin,
   yet impactful brain stroke,
      luminous and lucid,
      a close kin carols,
     your inlying map,
      is weatherproof,
    absorb urban soundings,
     with gut sense hunch

Nice to see a robin with beautiful color. Must still have mating plumage. Descriptive work. Way to go. 👏✍️. Sara K.
