Dad's Mesquite
golden light filtered through
feathery green leaves.
gnarled rough brown bark reaches toward cotton clouds.
breeze gently sways nest on highest branch.
jet-black grackle perched on drooping mistletoe
advising, perhaps admonishing.
tree’s penumbra shields brightly colored hammock,
cradle for snoring hairless primate.
