Why do birds fall out of the sky...no that's another song. But the birds in today's post are in big, big trouble. They just don't know how to behave. They're house finches, and they have a nasty way of teaching us the not-so-favorable side of being human. Read and see more about this consternating issue at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Vapid thoughts on birds
It is not
that one is so much alone
as the lonely witless notion
that one could be together
and still not miss one jot
the effortlessness of being oneself --
that is what compels the concave breast
at last to clans,
to abandon a private bough
on a forgotten scape.
How is he brave,
how is he cindered
with the staves of piney wandering,
when all he concludes, in sighing, is,
one more?
