Brave

A Poem

The birds are getting braver I told them I just wanted to be friends

that we were cool as long as everyone stayed 6 feet apart

but I know they’re no dummies. They now boldly walk along the balcony floor,

stick their beaks into the big open bag of birdseed that just last week they would have never!

They might even one day come up to the sliding glass door

— Knock peck — Knock peck

and chat a bit while I drink my wine club half priced first delivery trial wine and they snack on that super lush bird seed delivered by a gig worker

from my Walmart grocery order (I am sorry, I am sorry, forgive me, I am sorry)

left at the top of the steps (I tip what I can, I tip what I can, I tip what I can)

outside of my door — we might be even lifelong friends

in this you never know

in this time of natural selection and nature connection,

last night my human friend whom I have never met

but who is my brother helped me fall back asleep

as I woke up with anger and stress and panic and rage at 3am because of an incident because of humans because of feeling unheard

because of ptsd because of being triggered by an abusive person because of being exhausted from the battle I am in

because it hurts and it is not fair and because and because and because … and this morning on my couch, by my window I am with my bird friends -

There are so many ways to be brave.
