Beautiful noise

.

Swifts take the high notes

the air thick with sparrow chirps

and magpies squawking

Perfect day

It is the best day

when swifts announce their return

invisible cries

Swift return

Peerless aeronauts

I feared they would not return

sky-high joyful flight

Prophesy

There will come a day

when the swifts do not return

and we will notice

Swifts

.

The sound I’ve longed for

heralds temperate summer

shrill cries on the breeze

Look up

.

Swifts’ shrill, sweet singing

black sickles against blue skies

the height of summer

Swifts uplifting

.

With scimitar wings

slicing through part-clouded skies

summer is complete

Late

Delayed migration

large skies devoid of swift song

summer not yet here

Barbecue spring

Who needs a summer?

already the swifts’ shrill cries

fill gorgeous blue skies

Imaginings

 

My ears deceived me?

I swear I heard the shrill cries

of swifts overhead.
