Epistle of the bird

This entry is part 21 of 28 in the series Morning Porch Poems: Autumn 2013

Don’t beat your head
against the dead tree:

the sun will not return
any faster; rather, mind

the insects spilling out—
proof that an empty purse

may yet have currency
left over in the lining.

 

In response to an entry from the Morning Porch.
