bird in my ear
bird in my ear
newly purchased
at the five & dime
whispers things
I like to hear
before the storm
there is much chatter
[from the bird in my ear]
until that is
this thing called the lull
casually rolls in
it seems in no time
the bird in my ear
vanished before my eyes
taking with it memories
once instilled
june two thousand twenty-four
