Migration
A bird in migration, a Grey Crested Flycatcher;
Her small eyes look at starts for guidance,
just as we look at maps.
These small eyes are asking the stars
to show her the way to Tampa.
For centuries, her ancestors have returned
to Tampa to look for love.
Perhaps, this gray bird with yellow underside
will find love in Tampa.
Something, the people of Tampa could not do.
