Bird-talk
 
  A plump, determined, red-breasted
robin took possession of my balcony
this morning and pontificated
from the railing.

“Listen up, you birds,
you people. The man who lives in this house
is a noble man. He leaves me
sunflower seeds.

He lets me sing birdsongs
all day and never
complains when I hit a bad note.”

He’s kind to crows.
He knows bird-talk,
I think. He understands
how hard it is to be a bird.

Some day
I may teach him how to fly.”

Sonny Rainshine
