Pollen In the Air

Whats that you said?

Words drift

Glimpse a bird down the hill
closer to the river
orange breasted, must be an Oriole

Gone now

Other birds, some quite strange
fill the tree

Fresh water

Mist rises from the river
and trumpets, once wild daisies

Proclaim rebirth

This bird, right near me
I have never seen

I
smile
