JUST A GESTURE
He caught me with his haloed button-eye,
carrying red berries in his strong orange beak.
He looked so handsome
wearing his ebony plumage.
He hip-hopped on his way
to where she waited in the bushes,
mouth open, while he tenderly
fed her his prize.
Just a gesture between two
loving little blackbirds,
just a gesture I can't
get out of my head.
