morning Lent day twenty-five

three

three species of birds

this morning

at the feeder

designed for 

one

the hummingbird

comes early

with his tiny

needle-like beak in the feeder

& drinks of the nectar

the finches

male & female

fly back and forth

their beaks not created 

for this feeder

but they find a way 

& drink of the nectar

the brilliant hooded oriole

back after an absence

(where does he go?)

angles his beak just so

& drinks of the nectar

three species of birds

are filled from 

one feeder

tended to by 

this human

who watches in 

the mornings 

and adores their 

songs of thanks
