Apt
you reward my patience
with a metaphor, you see
a brown creeper balance
with her tail and
spiral upward
[RK, 12/27/2020]
Feathers
a winter wren flicks her brown finery
a peacock shakes his ass
a bird of paradise leans into
the lek, awaiting consummation
the mouse fails to hear
the owl’s descent
a scissor-tailed flycatcher
does not care what you think
house sparrows overrun
the house
[RK, 12/27/2020]
Ego
la colibrà dazzles
you think: iridescence
the hoatzin pokes you
with vestigial wrist claws
self-esteem is a fragile
part of my temperament
so much of what we are
is created by others
[RK, 12/27/2020]
