Moving into my new office, I was sad.

I knew I’d miss my friends

the birds who visited regularly,

perching on my second story window ledge,

nesting in nearby holly trees.

But

the word went out

and they came here:  robins,

sparrows, cardinals, jays –

the old gang- and even though

I have no trees, I have

a ground floor window ledge

where they still visit me.
