Red-Winged Blackbird


Sitting in the tree,
the famous red and yellow bars barely visible 
on the silhouette

Protecting the territory
from unwanted trespassers,
checking in all 
d
i  r
e   c      t  i
o    n s 
before moving on.

Bare branches,
blue sky,
a splash of shrieking 
colours.
Black shines in stripes where
the sun touches the feathers.

A perfect moment of balance 
and 
beauty,
it suddenly takes off,
that mysterious silhouette blackbird.
