Field Guide To Birds

A Poem

Photo by Vincent van Zalinge on Unsplash

It should not read like a diary of loss

a mystery of disappearance a Where’s Waldo of what’s left

and yet flipping through this field guide to birds with its beauty, simplicity, organization, optimism

I can’t help but feel the grief and ask the question what will we do when this who’s who of birds is

a slimmer and slimmer volume every year —

where is this guide guiding us to? Will there be graves, memorials, monuments?

Will there be obituaries, or will there be

as Rachel once said, simply silence?
