Cardinal's Solitary Home
On a chilly Christmas morn
I looked out of the window
Most of the birds have gone
On this cold dark winter day.
I saw a Cardinal on the tree
Brilliantly colored Northern Cardinal
A winter fixture at snow-covered bird feeders
I ask “Do the birds have Christmas?
Looking something to eat or
Planning in advance for a habitat
On this leafless tree
Like the politicians’ fake promises.
When it gets cold, it flies South
When it gets warm, it returns
That is what we learn from birds.
Maybe waiting his girlfriend’s message
About when to bring food to the nest
A few leaves lay on the starving rod
Fallen from the ash and grey
