Come Sit By Me
COME, SIT BY ME ( to Emily Dickinson)
Emily--
Come,
Sit by me --
We’ll watch the singing chicks
Starlings searching --always searching on
Searching--hopping
through the plucky dawn
as the blue jumps from the sky--
We'll watch determined style
never stopping
always hopping
chirp in single file
There must be a lesson
in the birdlife that we see
Never finding what they seek
but happy as can be.
Victoria Anderson-Throop 2013
