I wanted to have a house
Full of bird life
So I went out
Bought feeders
Bags of seed
Hooks and chains
And hung them all around the yard
Just them outside every window
Cardinals
Sparrows
Goldfinch
Juncos
Flickers
Waxwings
Titmouse
Buntings
Filling up my heart again
Filling up my heart again
I wanted to have a house
Full of plant life
So I went out
bought planters
Starts and seeds
And bags of soil
And put them out in every rom
In the corners of the light
Geranium
Alocasia
Jade Tree
Philodendron
Hydrangea
Tradescantia
Pye weed
Rose of Sharon
Night Bloom Cereus
Aloe Vera
Portulaca
Vermillion
Spathiphyllum
Oxalis
Terracotta
Filling up my heart again
Filling up my heart again
I wanted to have a house
Full of life and meaning
But everything is wild and fleeting
It comes and goes
Repeating
