Northern Pygmy owl - a brave heart in a sparrow-sized body
A few words about the Feather River Watershed in Northern California by a sprite that writes in white

Northern Pygmy owl - a brave heart in a sparrow-sized body
Sandanista Avioncitos
The little airplanes of the heart
with their brave little propellers
What can they do
against the winds of darkness
even as butterflies are beaten back
by hurricanes
yet do not die
They lie in wait wherever
they can hide and hang
their fine wings folded
and when the killer-wind dies
they flutter forth again
into the new-blown light
live as leaves

Dedication
something learned is
something earned.
purchase then
some ink and pen.
dip your pen
into the ink,
take a page,
sit and think.
don’t compose
delightful prose.
any sprite
could write in white.
it should reach
through blood and bone
to your heart’s
own little home.
