5.1.14 Such Loveliness In Flight

Photo: The storm clouds approached swiftly this evening, deep purple turning to grey and black, letting loose huge spring raindrops and much posturing , until they all blew back out of the neighborhood. Two bats returned for the first evening of thick bitey bugs-one stuck in my throat, as one curious bat flew 3' from my head, to my absolute delight!


The storm clouds approached swiftly this evening
deep purple turning to grey and black,
letting loose huge spring raindrops
amidst much posturing 

 until they all blew back 
out of the neighborhood 

Two bats returned
 for the first evening of thick bitey bugs
one stuck in my throat
as a most inquisitive bat flew
three feet from my head
possibly for a sniff or an
echolocation
to my absolute delight

In the fresh start of dusk
I often catch sight of
the two of them
carousing, fleet, through the
wooded land about my home
and theirs
racing and careening and
clicking and squeaking
such loveliness in 
flight
