Birds
if a bird wants to wear its heart on its wings and show that its a bit down sometimes why does everyone have to act like
A small bird stands up, the nest falls up and away…
I watch the birds that land
in the tree outside my window,
but when I’m looking at my screen…
Through the frosted glass,
a feathered friend is calling…
A bird shuffles by,
feathers on a high up branch…
so all year
theres ducks hanging out in the backyard
but theyve been gone for a while now…
A small bird flits by,
and lands on a branch,
unaware that below,
a predator prowls…
A bird in a tree,
and another in the bush…
Trees stretch for the sky,
shimmy in the breeze,
dancing to an invisible
soundtrack, birds sing…
