SATIN BOWERBIRD

If you're a bird


You're a bowerbird,

I think

You take great care
Like a bowerbird
selects each stick with care,
and places
and replaces it
in the bower until it sits
Just Right --
You build your bower
which you think is humble, but I think it is a display of perseverance.
And then!
Then!
Like a magpie but selfless, you decorate your bower.
Flowers
and beetle shells that gleam
and
little
bits
of
robin
eggs
and ribbon
and plastic trinkets.

And then you wait

And hope
that it's good enough.

But it is!

You are!

....

and I think you've made a splendid one.
