Mockingbird

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 –
