outside, on the tree in my yard there is this bird— im not sure what kind but for the last two days and nights it has been singing non-stop
at first i found it annoying its neighbors must thought so too but then i paused and took the time to listen, took the time to notice
it never sings the same melody twice in a row, always a different one
im growing quite fond of it
and what a small blessing, to have a canary of my own outside like that
there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see ; a choir too, for those who stop and listen
the cicadas were singing the other day too.
