i listened to a cuckoo

this morning high on a branch

 

i cant believe i could see it amongst all the leaves

 

it was there unapologetic

like a flute playing through a reed.  A wooden hollowed out tune in perfect.  It new what it had to do

 

was not interested in being like all the other birds

and when it sang it sang for love

 

it sang because that was its tune, is its tune

it didnt need to ‘check in’ and say does that sound good?  It just knew

 

it was perfect
