Two Visitors From Heaven
a yellow bird in the silence of winter
this is curious, so I sneak to my window
moving slowly, so I do not scare it.
a red streak flies across and lands
two cardinals! they are messengers
I have heard of this, but had not experienced it
on a pure white day, where schools are closed
here they sit – two of my favorite relatives.
my aunt pearl, who always wore red
and my uncle Pete who had a yellow fetish
He wanted yellow all over the house
Claimed he needed it more than ever in winter
Hello! I said to the window. Thank you for visiting!
They stayed for a while. Long enough for me to get a photo.
I showed it to my mother, but she did not understand.
Being religious, not spiritual.
