Robin Holds Her Ground

the sun tried to outlast the bird
beat down on his feathers 
in a circular motion

bird was a robin, used to turmoil
she held her ground, ignoring the heat
come on! Sun said. Give!

a confident mother, she stayed on the sign
defying the sun to give her more
sun bowed in deference to her station
