The birds could see what the people could not.
From the Red Canaries
that sat along the African Border
and stretched to the urban streets

It was a view of a thousand eyes,
a child's breath of a chilly morning
fading the grass's green frost
and raising the sun beyond the impatient traffic.

Beyond the Red Canaries
Opened the sweater of stores
that lived in the alleys that made way
to the other half;

the vanilla cream pillars
hosting wine with bread
as diamonds graveled
the sapphire blankets
of silk dresses and brown loafers.

Where florentine lights
cradled the daylight
changing it's color
and leaving it's tone
to a blackish blue
that hovered over the Red Canary
Until the next mornings light
Changes to blue.

An enjoyable read, with great imagery and fascinating story line.
I'll come back to this one again.

I never hear of red cannarys. I always thought they were only yellow? Add some cheese with the bread and wine LOL! Thanks for the read.
