While this very morning
I was writing
my "dappled light" poem
not five feet to
my left I kept on hearing
a distracting noise
on the window glass...
PECK-PECK! PECK-PECK!
PECK-PECK!
.. tiny but a bit disturbing...
maybe twenty-five times...
Looking, all I saw were
two birds eating,
on the grain. not much noise
there
and I continued to write
and then the continued little
PECK-PECKS bothered me...
and I looked just to my left
and there was my little round
fuzzy brand new gray bird
with few feathers yet,
slipping and sliding on the bar
and pecking his heart out,
as if trying to get in
to be with me and he'd
peck awhile and then flit over
to a bush; the branch turned
over with him, almost dumping
him and he seemed scared
and pitiful and panicking...
then came the tiny peck-pecks
again, always in pairs.
"PECK-PECK' And then,
he was gone.
And I hope he is okay.
Maybe he just needs a friend.
