Bamboo air

2 April 2010

the past few afternoons, with the sky clear
two bulbuls alight on a high bamboo
going to and fro in the late afternoon breeze

they whistle to me, I whistle back
they chat with each other
ten metres high, at ease with the air

the banana plant is watching them
wondering why they go up there
not here
