a pair of bluebirds
the female bathing
in shallow water

Two crows
near the pecan
tree are divebombed and screamed
at by a mother mockingbird.
Even so,
they fly
up, disappear
into the tree. The bird
cries. I rush out and clap my hands.
They flee.

stopping at each lamb's ear bloom
then starting over

two brown thrashers
living up to their names
in the birdbath

mockingbird
lighting on the fallen
oak branch

Yellow
swallowtail sips
from the Easter lily
but goes back to the lamb's ear: bloom-
hopping!
