Birders

~Birders~
Let's sit on the bed and watch the rain.
The rain?
Yes. I love the rain. I think it's beautiful.
Oh?
Yes. I wonder if birds like the rain or hate it or don't care about it one way or another.
Birds?
Yes. I like the way you say bird. Take off your clothes.
Okay.
I don't see any of them.
Who?
Birds.
Oh. Birds.
Yes. lie on top of me.
Okay.
Say birrrrd.
Birrrrd.
I love making love to you.
Birrrrd.

Ft Campbell

 

great poem

 

as long as it's not 33 degrees outside rain

 

I remember when Ft Campbell sprayed thousands of blackbirds

with detergent so that they would lose the oil in their feathers

and freeze to death... a visible mist rising from their bodies

Thanks for reading.

I'm glad you like the poem. I wonder if the birds that were sprayed were starlings. They are an invasive species. It's not legal in most places, if not all places in the US to kill blackbirds.

Thanks Dalton

Glad it works so well for you. I changed the title to "Birders." I might change it again.
