  • Messages from Floridian birds

    I spend the first morning eavesdropping on the birds, carefully noting each inflection, every declaration. They trust me to handle this information with complete accuracy:

    too, too
    too… too too
    whi whi whi whi whi whi
    too too too too too
    hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-
    hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-gasp-hoo-
    hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
    thp-thp-thp-thp-thp-thp

    The meaning of this compilation of sounds is top secret.

    A lone duck goes about its important business in shallowing waters. It appears there has been a drought here, but it is the place that makes me feel the most full, in many ways. Welcome home. There are only good things here.

  • Wood Pigeon

    I am awoken by the call of a wood pigeon.
    I don’t know what the call is regarding,
    and neither does he. It doesn’t matter.
    I think he’s trying to tell me that
    a good day is ahead.
    I believe him. He should know.
