This flycatcher and its mate has frequented our backyard all summer. “He” likes to sit on both the chain link fence and the wood panel fence to pick out his meals. I was lucky to have captured him in mid flight snatching his dinner from the air and then fly to the wood fence to savor his catch.




overcast morning
the flycatcher’s on the fence
hunting on both sides

the road that we’re on
splits the horizon in two
learn to love both halves

hands across the fence
an open – honest dialogue …
… a start to healing

a shared suffering
enkindles a common bond –
silent acceptance
