The Bird

by Alison McKenzie

A bird sings,
Just outside my window,
Sun or clouds.
The same bird.
Every morning.
As if he knows my soul has sunk,
And has stopped to chirp me a rope.

Excellent poetic snapshot, Ali. Both serious and lite at the same time.

A hopeful note (chirp) to cling to.

Birds are good for that. Well most of them. If it's a North Carolina Turkey Vulture - might be a rope with an evil purpose. :)
