Red Cardinal

"...red as the cliffs of moab..."

Red Cardinal

for the past two days
i've seen this cardinal
red with april wings
red like august heat
red as the cliffs of moab
and i am not sure
if it's the
same cardinal
or a different one
i am not privy to what
its intentions are
why it keeps appearing
but I enjoy the company
it is a nice way to end my day from work
and
begin
my
night
at
home.
