Pair of Canaries

PAIR OF CANARIES Gilt twins winging Through sunlight streams In their window at home Filling their golden yellow days. Spring and swing A tiny jump not far from the other Bounce along the perch, follow close, And neck rubs neck. Twittering their timeless melodies Through the window from their world Of wires and mirrors glittering Light music in the sun. Sharing water and seed, Preening a feather together, Beaks clicking in concatenation, Sleeping heads tucked under wings. Entwined golden souls, each Caring for a canary. A flutter of hearts and wings A lifetime flight.
