Everyday Song

lonely bird,

color-bringer,

sing up the sun.

hello, sunrise.

another singer

finds me, lonely

bird, just before

mid-day, sings

red and blue songs,

colors my bones.

come sing,

lonely bird,

the other singer

has gone away.

my bones are

white again

and the winds

are picking up.

sing me something

plumb purple,

sing me something

warm.
