131 ways to sing joy
or maybe there’s more

i started losing track
after counting to 100,
so thick on
the branch
they sit

chimeral chirps
riotous melody
oh to be so free,
and noise so blissfully

harmony
peace
migration
liberty-

these are the things
of which they sing,
these are the songs
i remember my wings . . .

fly

fly

fly

up to the blue
beyond the green
