"One barn swallow"
I like to watch
One barn swallow
And follow her flight:
A dip, a dive, a small loop, a large loop, up over the roof, down to skim the ground,
Around and around.
A friend chases her, she chases a friend.
She flies to the entrance of the barn and balks each time.
Is she curious why I lean on a gate in her home?
Is she angry that I'm near her nest?
There are bugs to catch ,
She can't answer or rest.
As long as it's light,
She is a fluttering, chattering, swerving, chirping
Bundle of energy
Perpetually
On the hunt.
