Feathers

Luis Enrique Jimenez Jr. 2000 (Los Angeles, California)



To a cardinal high,
all things are possible-
Jeez, what a view
on the farm down below.
Blue like the sky
on that warm summer day,
three birds sat alone on a tree.
I don’t have birds like this
in the city where I live,
so we took some feathers-
and put them in a box.
