Social Isolation: Day 65
Social Isolation: Day 65 Heart so full today, friends’ stories and the foxes lying in the sun, all the bare trees suddenly green and the sky scrubbed blue. One bird (I’d name it if I knew) sings the same seven notes all day, never giving up on an answering call. Three low two high two slide halfway back down. Please just sing (its chest shines gold). Just sing. Sing back. But that’s the human in me assigning purpose, imagining want. It sings and the maple sings and the lilacs and the lounging kits, the pregnant deer because it’s late May now and now is the time at last to sing. Sherry Robbins, May 22, 2020
