Shadows, A Breezy Day

 

 

In the shade of the redbud tree, sunlight,

filtered by heart-shaped leaves,

if not heart-felt leaves,

casts dancing shadow-leaves on the page. 

Small limbs sway in shadow. 

Hummingbirds' flitting-flight,

their comings and going,

their great aerial battles, cast shadows. 
Dancing and swaying and flitting 

cast shadows upon the pages of Baudelaire.
