| Enter Stage Left |
|
| I sit alone,
except for words, when the lone Muscovy enters stage left and cranes its neck upward toward my window. I stick my head out, talk to it in whispers, and it seems unafraid. I marvel at its trusting and wonder if it's expecting food. It will not be deterred as I watch mother bluejay teach her young how to forage for left-over French fries. |
