For my friends, who save me

GRAND, I am grand. I am two         birds

stacked. One by one. I am a friend

             A tower of sparrows, dirty and simple.

There’s nowhere to be             no rush. I make a bonfire

with a poem. I gather leaves and make a roof. I watch

                 you. One by one. Here come my friends.

Chirping in a rainbow floating on a puddle. Easy.

I’m clutched in a claw. Easy.

             The shadow of a hawk.          Easy.

Dirty and simple, one one one, we stack ourselves

                                        and stack some more.
