Winter Birds
“Mates for life, they stay together year round, feeding and nesting up to four broods each season. They are known for the harmony of their singing, one bird trilling a melody which the other picks up and completes.
More than two weeks pass, and the calendar tells me that the real ides of March has arrived. It is late afternoon, but I have been awake since a troubling dream in the early hours of morning. In my dream Mindy tried to wrestle the sword away from Brutus in the senate house of Rome... in order to save the life of Julius Caesar. She was gravely wounded and borne away, apparently dead, by an old man in a long white robe who called out over and over, “The argument of Time! The argument of Time! The argument of Time!” I slept no more but sat in my recliner and watched the sky grow light. I turned on the television and watched two episodes of All in the Family. I heard Archie Bunker and Meathead exchange many insults as the day dawned.
It takes no prophet to unravel my dream, for I looked at the calendar on my wall before going to bed last night, taking note of the fact that the next day, today, would be the ides of March.MoreLess
