Blue Jay, you fly so bold and true.
Blue bird, I’d do anything to be like you.
You’d do anything for me?
Even if it means losing your wings?
I’m a black bird,
I will wait for the word.
Then I fly.
But you’ll perch on the branches so close to me.
I’m sorry, but it’s hard to see out here
I didn’t think I was nested near you (I hope I was).
I was?
I was!
I’m glad. I’m sad, and all in between.
I’m black and blue and teeming-
With few words from this blistered beak.
