The Baltimore Oriole


He crashed against my glass 
stunned into silence 
he lay in shock, poor thing

I placed him in a lined box 
wrapped in soft bamboo  
he rested and recouped 

Two hours later 
I found him standing 
at the edge, waiting 

We made eye contact 
I took a photo, 
then he flew away 

Boy ! he really made my day.
