At
Fort Clifton Park, Colonial Heights Virginia
We
walked the boardwalk through the little swamp
almost
at twilight
almost
at closing time
for
the nature preserve.
In
the quiet
sudden
flash of buttery yellow
and
the Prothonotary Warbler
arrived
three
feet in front of us
on
a crusty branch,
to
feed her flapping fledgling.
Unmindful
of us
paralyzed
with joy
to
see her
so
close
so
close.
