City Peacock

   We observed this fellow in Prospect Park a few weeks ago.

Looking for attention


Ritual

He stands soundless
in jeweled raiment
dripping
green and blue
following the rhythm
left sway right
right sway left
two-step peacock
looking for a partner.
                               
                                                                         


                                             
Impressive even from the back.

                                                   
           There was no peafowl in sight.
