Crimson Rosellas

Listen to these dear birds apart

Sharp shrieking Cries,

Series of bell-like notes

Listen to them apart

Sharp shrieking Cries

Series of bell-like notes

Look at these dear birds together

Dance and swoop

On nuts and nectar

Look at them together

Dance and swoop

On seeds and flowers

See them sleep

See them sleep

Two hearts beating

At different times

With eyes closed

In a thatched nest

Like Cupped Hands

Holding a precious rhythm.
