Solstice Song

western solstice sun set
Looking west

Fluttering wings, sounding chippers and ticks, pecks on old boards, paint peeling, black seed baskets hung on aluminum wire from high branches invite the variety of winter birds, and squirrel.
Riverside, deer in herds stand unshaken as I pedal by murmuring melody with casual rhythm.
Pattering feet on oak floors, nails long and clicking, signaling intent.
Engaging animal spirit is therapy.
