Birdwatch
You sit still
outside
anticipating
awhile.
To see a bird.
Don't pop out
St. Francis style.
They won’t land
on your hand
Snow White.
Need to be
cranestill as she.
sans flight.
Patient
as a heron.
Watchful
as a hawk.
Only moving
eyes,
actions of a
rock.
Even when
you're called?
Slow!
Get the
camera now?
No!
You’ll scare it away.
Using memory,
to store it
instantly,
You can
retrieve
your mental note
another day.
