ROBINS

 

     ROBINS


Early March morning,
backyard aglow with robins,
and I heard a voice sing:

“If I’m not alive
when the robins come,
give the one in red cravat
a memorial crumb. 

If I can’t thank you,
being just asleep,
you know I’ll be trying
with my granite lip.”

     Robins return, 
     Emily lives.
