Cardinal couple
at the bird-feeder today,
he all in red,
she in orange-gray.
They’re not like us,
this mismatched pair,
she on the snow below,
he circling in the air.
They never part
but seldom unite,
conjoined by love
and freed by flight.

Cardinal couple
at the bird-feeder today,
he all in red,
she in orange-gray.
They’re not like us,
this mismatched pair,
she on the snow below,
he circling in the air.
They never part
but seldom unite,
conjoined by love
and freed by flight.
