birds

two caged birds.
and i wanted to ask you
how were the dogs?
and you told me a woman
came to clean your house
and so i was replaced.
(i never could abide birds.)

AJ

it happened the first time i saw you
in the rain
beneath the terror
of thunder
and the unknown.
your smile
as bright and broad
as warm and welcoming
as a secret sunrise.
