morning sun up and golden
summer daybreak warm
and still.
inside, from the open window
my first glance caught it there
a lone baby bird sleeping
standing up, hunched over.
no doubt comfortable as all get out.
ruffled feathers, head under wing,
leafy plants all around, it was right in the middle of a
path.
not hidden somewhere
off to the side.
didn't pay attention when mama said keep cautious,
stay out of sight while
your dreaming.
