Memory Flashes @camy40.bsky.social · Dec 22
time marches -- lost in the moment

Grey squirrel gathers dead leaves
with tiny childlike hands
Bites into the pile of reds & oranges &
mustard yellows
Runs up the pear tree to his tip-top nest
Insulation
in his mouth

Starlings chittering in pear trees
sunshine draws me out my reverie
happy free food exists for at least birds

Barely visible daylight
Sleepy squirrel leaves a warm nest
runs down a cold tree trunk searching
acorns or drink or bodily relief

I witness all from the window of my own warm nest

Winter takes a
collective breath,

holds it in for a count of four

releases and blows out drifts

Starlings
whistle, click, & gurgle
gobble their berry feast

Murmuration happens before our eyes, starlings seek food together, take flight as a flock, eat their berry fill, not one left behind--

If only all humans had the same values ...
