snowbirds


swallows winter here
lithe and swift
they skim
the surface of the river
fierce and joyful

bane to insect
balm to my heart

  1. Lovely Julia. I recall seeing these birds as I walked up the hill to work each day. They used to swoop and swirl just in front of me, and made the climb so enjoyable. Lovely images in your poem here. Thank you.
