sparrows


 * __sparrows__**

chirp chirp chirp all inside my ears

tiny all-seeing beady black eyes flicking quick

plain brown feathers, drab but beautiful as any bluebird so many shades of brown chestnut to tan

fluffy fluff fluff fluff up cold trapping warmth hopping fluffed up

hop hop hop little feet moving synchronized

flutter flutter flutter restless, every tree they have lived in littered with sparrow memories,

falling leaves, falling from the nest.
