No Drunken Frenzy - Kimberly Satterfield
Chatter of cedar waxwings
is shrill this morning.
Must be fifty
crested visitors,
scarlet-russet-gold breasts
glint iridescent.
In the curves
of this February
full moon day
birds are agitated-
pyracantha berries
are scarce.
Many frozen days
rains this winter
have spoiled their party.
No drunken frenzy
this year.
A fat calico cat
wide eyed
fur fluttering
sits just out of sight
hoping.
