An Observation
Yesterday, on a midday walk
Two bald eagles soared in circles
Along the bay.
One swooped down between the trees
A nod to me or a warning to the crows?
I’ve searched for over a month for
The heron who once graced my vision,
Perched, hidden in a tree.
Elusive action, only visible for seconds.
My toddler grandchild
Sorts colored popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners dyed
The colors of the rainbow.
We have cups filled with our sorting
And then the dumping begins again.
An observation is seeing an action
With no interpretation needed.
