Two Cardinals on a Snowy Branch
by Michael Escoubas
They nestle
close to one another
both
intent on the other
as snow swirls and twirls
softly down
stars shaken
from Orion’s belt
love illuminés
life
see how their feathers
lightly touch
and their eyes
the way they penetrate
so deep
words inadequate
to keep
the love they feel
after fifty-five years
balancing on the branch of life
