10 days before Spring
comes the birds are already
furnituring their
~
last years homes those nest
nesting they left behind to
comeback and raise crests
~
another saplings
small group of sparrows robins
baby birds chirping
~
woven atop the
twigs intertwined and sewn in
winter springs new nest

Stars moving in the night
A strange happening, a strange sight!
I watch in trepidation or puzzled freight?
There's something else out there beyond the night.
A cold stillness fills the air
I see them moving now as a pair
They seem to stop dead in mid air
Stars or something else yet unknown?
I see the pair blend into a single moving flare
I see the light change from white to blue
A mist surrounds it, shone by the moon.
The blue light moves away
I know it's not human or of our age
It moves so fast vertically
Disappearing instantly.

The All Blacks, man, are they for real?
They’re faster than the speed of light
Don’t blink, you’ll miss them, they’re surreal
I’m awake, not dreaming, right?
They just left the French for dead
They’re faster than the speed of sound
Eyes in the back of every head
Feet that fly above the ground
What power, what fitness, what on earth
Possesses men to be that fine
What strange goddess gave them birth
What discipline keeps them in line
I sit here gobsmacked, oh my days
I understand now, here’s the crack;
The All Blacks move in mysterious ways
Dark Gods of rugby blessed, in black
