Orchestrated Performances<\/em><\/p>\n

by Lynda McKinney Lambert, April 2, 2023<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aerial musicians and singers<\/p>\n

Atmospheric performers beyond<\/p>\n

thick fair-haired forsythia hedge<\/p>\n

on chilly wet morning<\/p>\n

I glance upwards towards eastern<\/p>\n

Alabaster skyline<\/p>\n

searching for overhead flights.<\/p>\n

My feet sink gently<\/p>\n

into soft wet grass<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I lead the way<\/p>\n

Two dogs in tandem<\/p>\n

Sniffing a fresh trail<\/p>\n

Left by a grey squirrel.<\/p>\n

I stoop to touch dainty yellow daffodil<\/p>\n

near the early spring treeline<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We stop, listen to steady<\/p>\n

riveting beats<\/p>\n

speculate<\/p>\n

ambitious woodpecker<\/p>\n

urges attention<\/p>\n

A single wild goose<\/p>\n

yells<\/p>\n

glides swiftly over<\/p>\n

rushing grey-green stream<\/p>\n

beyond the stark curly willow tree<\/p>\n

my husband planted in this meadow<\/p>\n

sixteen years ago.<\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

The End.<\/p>\n
