puellarina's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- african boogie bird 2004-03-28 - 2:11 p.m. african boogie bird I heard a little bird in the brush I looked and I saw he was as little and as foreign as he sounded. But on his back was a tall, painted wood elaboration. He was decorated in african designs made from neckties. He began to dance. I came very close. I gazed at his black, painted eye. But he turned and moved away. Stretching shyly his long crane's neck down and back behind. Leaving a white breast feather at his scaly yellow heel. I retrieved this tender leaving with a child's bottomless wonder I held it's cottony air-woven fibers between reverent fingers. I followed the african crane as I was sure he had asked me to do. 11:06 a.m. - 2004-05-11 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
