The Chaffinch

Someone google me — then tell me
do I love peanut butter jam
on soft white bread

do I like to spread myself thin
over barren wooden lands

waiting for the search — to cease.

Every lonely dove dies
alone — I prefer company

[ feathers flying free
(I keep no company)
& quiet kisses by old canals ]

to carry on

Someone search me
google me
search for me
then tell me

if

You

found — Me

stranded on a ledge
far above the hedgerows
of the everyday — or if

if … no signs … were

uncovered.
