swallows in april, swifts in May

stand on grass
watch the birds
threading the sky
infinite patience

swallows in april
swifts in may
two lilac trees so high
birds threading, weaving
Leaves waving, swaying..

nests sheltered in shadows
fledglings complaining of starvation
ever demanding more as
parents struggle back and forth
shuttles on a loom

under the lilac
the heavy morning air
weighs down on dark purple blooms
Tiny fragrant enticing perfumes
bees, wasps, gnats
Earthlings
all one
Love
