Birds
Plump, cheery,
Joy follows every cheep
Of your delicate throat.
Zebra finch
For you I cry out
Pleading, imploring
To have you grasp
A finger, as my heart
Already your thrall.
Cheeks like glowing embers
Eyes deep oceans
Of pure love
For me, I hope
Oh zebra finch!
A covering of ashes
A coat of forgotten dust
Would be mine, too
If your sweet voice
Evaded my ears
And fell upon another's.
Zebra finch, I love you
And would be parted from you
By nothing
But death.
The End
