Agelaius phoeniceus English: Red-winged Blackbird Français : Un carouge à épaulettes. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
whispered white fog
lingers over the silent marsh
carrying across the reeds the echo of search
a red-winged blackbird, demonstrating its strength,
perches on one leg like a militant soldier, surveying the grassy kingdom
the softness of the mallard’s nest reflects the comforted security of this brush
hiding within this secluded world, the dream enters
as the shadow of loneliness walks between the thoughts
an entire sheet of heaviness
blankets my inner being
