Macaw in winter
1
Too cold for an old
red macaw perched
outside the door of a
Kushiro pet shop this
December day. But
there he is
hunkered down,
grooming his feathers
in the cold winter wind
as snowflakes begin to fall.

Today the old red macaw
is on his perch munching seeds
as the arctic wind whips past.
Does he dream
of steaming tropical
forests?
--Kushiro, December 2007
