Small as a sparrow
bluest of indigo blues

passerina cyanea
spilling out songs

that may be confused
with the hymns of angels.

The male singing all day
in spring and summer

fashionista in blue satin
trilling and breeding.

Migration trusts in the
guidance of the stars

celestial magic whisks
from the darkest heavens.

The songbird descending to earth
to embrace the lonely

mystical dive in the middle
of the gravel driveway

splashing in a puddle
after a morning rain.
