The Indigo Bunting

Listen now
to the perfumed voice of
the indigo bunting’s
“sweet, sweetie, sweet.”

How can all of Summer
fit itself into so
tiny a bird?

Here now is Dusk
to silence
the gent.

Oh, spare your tears
my Inner Beloved –

Do not forlorn.

At the first kiss of Dawn
his love notes
will find us.

Why else would we Awaken?
