Sunday Morning: Listening to the Bird outside my Bedroom Window


Here in the desert
a single song can last a lifetime
if you are careful, take
one small sip at a time.

Each verse becomes a wellspring
and like a cup of water,
the chorus welcomes you home,
clears the dust from your throat.


--Justin Evans, Working in the Birdhouse
