A Visit
And they were there—
bobbing below the plumerias
whose fallen flowers, I’d been raking from
the lawn—two fairy terns
like white-shirted missionaries
knocking at a door that opened
above my head!
Wondering how they’d found me
at this earth address, I looked at them, looking at me—
They hovered so close that if I reached out,
I believed a message would unfold
from an envelope of wings.
