Stained Silence
Orange bird is bouncing around the yard.
Head tilted my way.
I wonder if you're the same one as last year.
You seem so unafraid.
I wish you weren't so careless.
There's a scraggly stray slinking about.
A one parent monster with an itchy BeeBee gun.
Always looking to have a little fun.
You're welcome to use the shrub again.
(as your sky-blue eggs are my favorite color).
Remember there's no lasting peace around here.
Only egg breakers and stained silences.
That commence just before the end of your song.
