This morning a flock of flickers -- flash of red,
flash of yellow at my feet -- rose and flew
past the blue turkey-foot, the prairie dropseed.
The grasses nodded their purple heads, bronzed,
lazy in their affirmations… until the wind blew.

from 'Flicker' in Quiver by Sarah Busse (Red Dragonfly Press, 2009)
