The Visitors

Ramble, meander, wander, wonder.
Lounge, loaf, idle, sit.
Walk out, and don't hesitate to stop,
     dead in your tracks,
     when the scissortail pair return,
     light on the fence, then swoop
     to the crown of the native pecan,
     whose welcome has already
     lasted lifetimes, and persists,
     with grand exhalation of breath.
