WALKING MORNING SUNSHINE

WALKING MORNING SUNSHINE

Walk the morning

            sunshine yard

robins so fat

            they can't fly

hover in tiny

            North Park Grove

perched on roof

            Hidden

on limbs

            of Canadian Chokecherry

Inside

            Juneberry Bush itself!--

waiting

            not waiting

for berries to ripen--

            Disregarding me,

fearless, contemptuous,

even, dissing me

            hidden in leaves

except

            for their great bellies
