Cheerbird
“Chirpy-chirpy-chirp-chirp-chirp,”
catches my ear, wakes me up.
Yes, I’ve been
awake,
but not like this
for many days.
“Chirp-chirp-chirp-chirp…”
this conversation
goes on. Makes me smile.
Best part of my day?
My best self,
my innermost
has been tapped
…sappy
…happy
…maybe
today will be a hoot
I hope this is the root
of the whole
healing I need.
Yesterday,
Dad in aphasia
no worries, lasts but a moment,
but my leg’s been a drag for months.
Quietness of chatter
begs a symphony
of relief.
