sunday afternoon
robin
is strutting in
the backyard back and forth
round and round like a high-strung
cadet
blue jay
mourning dove and
blue jay are eating grain on
the grass side by side uncaring
sharing
a soft
piano piece sneaks
out of the stereo on
this day it's good to be back home
again//

piece by
piece love's cherished
moments go leaving just
the hurts stark remnants of love that
ended

quiet
of daybreak torn
by a lone sparrow's trill
a matutinal song longing for
its mate

sipping
my cup of hot
sake i no longer
taste its sweetness
gone like your smile
just before you left.

little sparrow first
to peck on scattered seeds soon
sent off by big jay

it's the
sparrow that pecks
first at the newly strewn
seeds a lowly forerunner of

dark sentinel
like an
apparition
a blackbird stands on the
stone rampart immobile silent
