So I walked outside,
and there they were.
These two baby bluebirds
in the gap underneath
the threshold of my back door.
As if
they were knocking
to get in,
and meant to be mine.
Only a peep heard
in place of each knock.
So I picked them up,
and brought them inside
as my compassion
gets the most of me.
I dreamt only of what
I would do in reality,
because who's going to leave
two baby bluebirds outside
alone on a freezing winter day?
There they sat in my palm,
large enough to fit
two tiny fluffy bluebirds.
