SongBirds (to Juan)

~ Harlan Didrickson

We admitted

That we

Certainly don’t

Know why

We are

But that

We are

In the

Simplest and

Grand way

Like the

Bird outside

My window

Sings not

Because it

Wants to

But because

It can

Love as

Song birds

JustSay (to Howie)

~ Harlan Didrickson

The only

Thing that

You could

Ever say

Wrong is

The thing

That you

Never say

WeSang (to Juan)

~ Harlan Didrickson

And at

Last last

Night the

Frozen pond

Thawed and

Words as

Whispers finally

Trickled past

Throats to

Ears and

We heard

Once again

The melodies

We sang

Friend

~ Harlan Didrickson

I am

Your friend

As the

Day is

To night

As the

Shore is

To ocean

As the

Bee is

To flower

And the

Sun is

To moon

One cannot

Exist without

The other

Nothing

~ Harlan Didrickson

There is

No greater

A love

In this

World than

The one

That you

Can’t have

It there

In that

Smokey smoldering

Dank and

Barely warming

Thing that

You reach

Inside your

Pockets and

Find nothing
