Birdwatching

Young turkeys gather by the fence
my friend is headed for surgery
my mother has pain and makes
such decisions so suddenly and
I dreamed I attended your wedding

Young quail scatter for the trees
my friend is running with
a much younger man, my
sister plays online games and I
dreamed she didn’t die from cancer

Young ducklings paddle away
my friend is long lost and
so am I – you know I dreamed that
I am going to say no again, I don’t know why
Young turkeys gather by the fence.
