Flickering squirrel tail shadows
danced across the window early morn
Shaking the edges of my attention
waking my awareness to outside
Squirrel running back and forth
scurrying and hiding
on the fence rail
from two big blue jays
Pecking at him
his tail a-flickering
all the way
“Oh, squirrel! Hey , squirrel!”
"You with the tail that
could paint masterpieces
What did you do to upset
those birds?"
Or were those sharp beaks
just being bullies
on a shiny new morn?
