Bird
Drenched with trains and yawns
Waiting for the bluebird to come
Skylark
Tangy as blackberry yogurt
Hummingbird
Hiding in the green of night
Mockingbird
The song that kills
Vivid
Like my eyes
Robin
Cheating the icicles
Oriole
Sweet as an orange popsicle
Bird—
I’d give you a harp
If I had one
All I have is my name
Sketched on the sand
Fading with the blue tides
Bird—
Take my song unsung
Take this broken song inside my night
Take this broken song and take to flight
I promise I will not close my eyes
You were waiting forever
For this moment in the skies.

This is inspired partly by the Beatles song "Blackbird."
