Birds

I’m sitting in tutoring

at the window,

where you can see

little birds sitting

on the edge

of the building,

looking down

at the bird seed,

someone fed them.

They’re there every day.

Suddenly,

the birds start

to flutter down,

like leaves

falling off a tree.

Woo! Whoosh!

A bunch soar down.

Then one by one,

they fly back up again.
