You Are A Bird-Understander

Of many motives I love you right here is one

the way you write me from the gate at the airport

so I can inform you the whole lot will be alright

so you can inform me there is a bird

trapped in the terminal all the people

ignoring it due to the fact they do now not know

what to do with it besides to go away it alone

until it scares itself to death

it makes you terribly terribly sad

You desire you may want to take the fowl outside

and set it free or (failing that)

call a bird-understander

to come assist the bird

All you can do is be aware the bird

and experience for the chicken and write

to inform me how language feels

impossibly useless

but you are wrong

You are a bird-understander

better than I should ever be

who make so many noises

and name them song

These are your very own words

your way of noticing

and pronouncing plainly

of now not turning away

from hurt

you have provided them

to me I am only

giving them back

if solely I ought to exhibit you

how very useless

they are not
