Learn from me, girl


I am a tree sparrow who has three friends
We are flitting up and down and twirling around
each of us lands
on a different cedar fence post
and we watch
the girl and the black dog walking behind us.

We dance on barbed wire 
we are notes on sheet music
rising and falling
ahead of the girl and the dog

It is now.
Daytime and full of sun --
we are alive and together
no thoughts of the future.
No dark from the past.

The girl knows this is the way
she is learning
From me
From her dog.
