Le printemps s’annonce
avril 2020
Le printemps s’annonce
avec les pépiements
d’un couple de bouvreuils,
têtes rouges et corps bruns,
qui reviennent chaque année
pour refaire leur nid en-dessous
de l’avant-toit de notre balcon.
Voltigeant, volant, sautant,
juchant, chantant, ils reprennent
leurs habitudes quotidiennes,
vivant en parallèle de nous.
Leur arrivée nous rappelant
celle des célèbres
hirondelles de Capistrano.

The Sign of Spring
April 2020
Spring announces
itself with the chirping
of a pair of red finches,
who return each year
to remake their nest,
preparing it for their young,
under the eave of
our apartment balcony.
Taking up their
daily occupations –
flitting, flying, hopping,
roosting, singing,
they live in parallel with us.
Their arrival reminiscent
of that of the celebrated
swallows of Capistrano.
