A pale ring sits on the wood.
Above, long tubes hang and swing.
A small clay bird hangs in the middle.
The uncle leans on the rail.
His jacket lies over the top.
Iris tilts her head and listens.
She hopes for one low ring.
The breeze drops. It is quiet.
Iris steps to the railing post.
A black bug climbs near her hand.
She goes to the top step.
Her nose dips over the herb.
The wind sock sags on its post.

She heads back the same way.
By the step.
A thin wet line shines on the pot.
A pale string dent marks the rail.
From inside, party voices burst once.
The uncle says, "There it is."
Iris sits on the cushion again.
She looks up through the gap.
One deep tone rings, then fades.
A long tube now touches the bird.
