PERIPHERY
There are birds living in my house
under the eaves of the porch.
Each spring they sing at dawn
with their children,
chattering on about the sun,
how it moves from the horizon.
And they must think it is their house,
their place decked out with their found things.
I leave them.
For don’t we all live on the solitary edge of
someone else’s world?
