split into two one half bunting alive blue another sky half ashen with bruised clouds an eventual combat that heaven tears would win that's when I heard the cacophony the aviary riot! so much din, but without sight to man oh, but they could hide so well when they wanted I followed the noise Geiger-counter to a giant spread-eagle pine with limbs so dense the other side wasn't seen petite wrens, minuscule sparrows they flew out of arguments they could not win and back into gaps of conversation they could The Rain Tree sanctuary from a rage of nimbus fury they made the arbor breathe with life I edged closer still barely visible were two thousand wings inside the pine: a 30 foot condo for a 1000 squatters the Rain Tree finally answered the question of where feathered kites go. . .when it rains |

Aw Sea, you make me blush dang it! Funny how we take so many things for granted, like hearing these guyz, never seeing them before a rain. My curiosity got the better of me, and i checked them out! It was a cool moment, just mesmerized by the fact every one of them was yakking at once. Vic...how's you tonight? *s* couldn't get the image of this whole huge tree, dense with limbs, wavering with life, although not a single bird was entirely visible. I got close enough to see 100's and 100's of them, packed wing to wing on each limb inside of the tree. It was something! Thanks Sweet, and take care! JkF |
