For the Birds

The new feeder does not work,
I thought
maybe it was the wrong color.

This morning
its ornate wood frame
just looks alien and threatening.

The roof; shaped like a
Black Forrest cuckoo clock
now resembles Dracula’s castle.

The birds will not come to it.
They ignore it,
perhaps fear it.

I like it.

The birds can eat and crap
somewhere else.
