This morning I watched a bird
in a red hood and speckled cape
eat a cherry blossom.
I wandered to his tree and stood
and watched him tap the bark of the bicep
with his beak.
What was he doing with such a red crest?
I wanted to ask him more, when the light
filled my ears with the sound of church bells and school bells.
