POEM: window bird

Published 18 October 2019 by Jason Crane

window bird

in the morning,
bold action!

in the afternoon,
quiet contemplation

in the nighttime,
deepest sadness

a sparrow sings knowingly
outside my window

four big crows gather,
majestic in their darkness;
poop, then fly away

unified field theory

to watch a hummingbird
poke its long snout
into a fake flower
in search of sugar water
is to understand the universe

morning bird’s sharp chirp
pierces the predawn darkness
spring cannot be rushed
