Text

A Little Brown Bird

Just landed on my windowsill.
Thought about coming in.
Bent her head, looked around. Looked
at my string of paper butterflies,
looked at me, then out

Made the branch dance.
The leaves went crazy.
My heart did too.
A little brown bird.
Did all that.

– Julia Klatt Singer, previously published in the Saint Paul Almanac, 2011
