BIRDS
(Tetractys)
Birds,
I watch
you inside
behind the door
of the glass wall, shivering in the cold;
looking for food, waiting for the lady
who feeds you most
every day.
But she's
sick.
Birds,
she can't
do it now,
and forever.
We are forbidden to feed you because
it's against the rule of the management.
I wish I could.
Trouble is
brewing
hot!
Birds,
Please fly
away home
to your nest and
Stand by the branches, look down to the ground
Where worms wiggle, and you catch them free.
Then help yourself
what the earth
provides:
FOOD!
