Strange Bird

Strange bird

you climb atop stools

and you perch and drink coffee

from saucers and you curl up on the flat concrete

to nap outside, rather than the soft, warm

folds of your bed. Strange bird, why?

You thin-boned, bright-feathered

strange bird, you are so unique

in more ways than you

could ever know.

And for that

uniqueness,

I love you

more than

you could

ever know.
