Red

Hopefully the cardinals and the starlings will learn to live together in the back bushes.  We are all part of the Cosmic series.


Red is the new front door,
The paint on the kitchen walls,
The accent color
For almost
My entire wardrobe.
Now red waits
To be ordered
In double-glazed one-inch ceramic tiles
Named for the planet Mars
In the Cosmic series.
Red are the cardinals,
Now returned to the back bushes,
Despite evacuation by the starlings
Yesterday.
The starlings are also part
Of the wider
Cosmic series,
Bits of starlight
In their feathers.
Perhaps the birds will learn
To live together
Eventually.
Hope for all of us
In the wider and widening
Cosmic series.
Beyond tile.
