Quail Covey

in the garden lives a quail covey 
      they make me smile every day 

a dozen small brown speckled bodies 
of pleasing plump shape  
      darting about  
      scurrying along the garden edge 
      dust bathing in dirt scrapes 
calling to reassure each other 

something in their purposeful busyness
       and social natures 
is so endearing

how lucky I am 
          to have the trust and fellowship 
of this cooperative collective 
in this space we share
