Time a blur but let's call it
A couple weeks after you left
A northern mockingbird took up residence
Outside the window where you used to
Smoke and began his or her – I’m going to say her –
Now nightly marathon singing – starting as you
Often would around midnight and continuing
Until I don't know when – I always
Fall asleep before she’s finished. So
That’s a difference. Also
Her singing never makes me sad as
There’s no sense while she sings
That this song might be the last –
