October Taps
House finch pecking at my window
tries to fight or gain attention of
her reflected counterpart
in mirror-world.
Does she seek friend or mate,
to thrash an envied rival?
Will she persist in tapping
on my screen for keyboard love?
It’s migration time! Does she yearn
for mirror-bird to keep her company
or to break through into fantasy
where all is dark and warm?
