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 saying her –

Now nightly marathon singing. Starting as you

Often would around midnight and continuing

Until I don't know when – I fall

Asleep before she’s finished. So

That’s a difference. Also her singing

Never makes me sad as there’s no indication

While she sings that

This song will be her last.
