October Taps


House finch pecking at my window
tries to fight or gain attention of
her reflected counterpart
in mirror-world.

Does she seek friend or mate,
to thrash an envied rival?
Will she persist in tapping
on my screen for keyboard love?

It’s migration time! Does she yearn
for mirror-bird to keep her company
or to break through into fantasy
where all is dark and warm?

[Weeded]

An amusing jab, but why pull punches? I think you should drop the hammer on this "house finch"

What, and break the window?  Not to mention the poor bird's illusions?
