This Week's Highlight
Bird Calls
A man’s voice
measured, clear
free of emotion
issues from the CD player
“Indigo Bunting”
The first note sounds
and the room evaporates
We are walking in the botanical park
Just overhead
on a branch of a tree
we spot the bright blue profile
Head held high
throat full of music
he proclaims his identity
The call goes unanswered
The man’s voice returns
“Painted Bunting”
