A small kite in the top
of a tree by the river,
the sun so bright, I
wasn’t sure
until I heard its cry

The Chimney Swift, after Rachel Carson

The chimney swift eats
in the air, it drinks and bathes
on the wing, its courtship
is aerial, it sometimes
even dies in the sky.

Nests, after Rachel Carson

The bobwhite’s nest
tightly packed with eggs,

the oriole’s aerial cradle,
the frame-work

of sticks which the cuckoo
calls a nest, and

the lichen-covered home
of the hummingbird.

All of Lang’s anti-fascist films are excellent! I forgot to list one: Fury (1936).

I know how you feel! After some time passes consider watching it again. It’s worth a second viewing. Extraordinary film.

circular reasoning — like the man who once told me “I need guns.” I asked “Why?” “To protect my guns.”
