I dream of gardening
with buds and new bulbs
bursting from the soil
Birds chirping in surprise
and curiosity
Imagine if we were birds
waking up calling to
everyone in the house
from room to room
“Mom, I’m up”
“I’m up too”
“Good morning”
“How are you?”
“I’m fine how’s your back”
“Better today”
“Are your windows open”
“No, still closed”
“It’s rise and shine”
“The sun chased the moon across the sky”
