Wing
Feathery house hunters flutter against my bedroom window and usher in spring. The starling couple consider a cozy corner beneath the window's awning as a possible nesting site.
My cat, my companion, watches the wings' rhythmic beating against the screen, bidding them a plaintive good-bye when the couple flies away to inspect another property in the evergreen tree.
His golden feline eyes search the room and widen when he spies a small powdery miller resurrected by warmer temperatures. As the tiny insect swoops and swirls around the bedroom, the cat eyes him, switches his tail, and ack-acks his longing for a set of furry wings.
