Fledging Day

The moment opens like a gift:
infant swallows on wobbly wings
fledge from the porch-corner nest.

Their twittering glitters in ecstasy
of blue freedom, swoop and skim
of graduation caps flung high.

Hawk and raven lurk,
a long migration looms,
the art of catching insects on the wing

yet to be mastered.
But for now, a whirl of swallow wings,
a celebration.
