the bird feeder

as is with many things.
you don't know
what you're getting into
until you're in.
that bird feeder for instance.
it was endless.
the early joy of red birds
and blue, the woodpeckers,
the crows and sparrows
was fine, but
their hunger was without
measure. no matter
how quickly you filled
the bins full, they were
empty the next day.
it was a sign.
i never should have
married her.
