little bird
little bird with little love
sits atop a lemon tree
hopes to turn into a dove
and live his life with ease
little bird with little friends
feeds upon a giving heart
longs to soar and pretend
his tweets are like a lark
little bird with little dreams
slowly heals his broken wing
soon to feast on tangerines
ripening across the spring
september two thousand twelve
