The Early Bird
June 23, 2022
Let me wait with you, patiently,
In a moment suspended between darkness and dawn.
Let me wait with you as you stand tall.
And still.
Listening to your feet
Tap tap
Against the packed dirt beneath you,
Flaunting the bright colors of your bulbous belly.
And then with a flourish you will present a pink ribbon,
Still wriggling
Flinging
Loose pieces of raw earth towards the sky.
Let me wait with you, patiently,
Up until the very moment you flap your wings,
And fly.

There is something admirable about the robin. This is a poem I wrote for the little bird, but of course you may interpret it however you like.
