Red-breasted parakeet

Green birdie

did you say you miss me?

you’re the keeper of sunsets

a protector of the Himalayas

you’re supposed to spread your wings

to soar through the sky

but what are you doing

laying quietly on your thigh?

I only just met you

yesterday you were still singing

I only just met you

today you dreamed of flying.

t.l.

rest well, little birdie.
