Hummingbirds fight,
red-green zips
around the feeder
with its yellow plastic
flowers opening
in perpetuity.
Turkeys roam in gangs,
lingering behind the tall
grasses while another rafter
creeps up the road
to pick a fight,
snoods flapping.
Across the lawn, the
shadow of a red-tailed hawk
glides and from the deep
woods, the barred owl
hoot-calls from his
nest-hole.
