Spring

Two Monk Parakeets

Two monk parakeets mating in a tree
with fine bright leaf buds hinting at the season
looks good to me.

Better than good, really.
Makes me laugh hysterically!

The breeze rustling the branches,
ruffling the feathers, tickling the heads of dandelions
into dancing could be from my lungs.
Could be from the sun heating things up
shifting atmospheric pressure,
pushing things into a righteous flow.

Could be from this unfolding in my heart
shaped like two monk parakeets going at it in March.
Their heads two soft mounds atop
their bodies meeting and becoming one pointed
at their tail feathers: heart shaped, jostling.

Looking good. Looking better than good.
Splitting my sides so green, so new, so natural.
