you taught us to make space for you
to adjust physical space
books and beds your perches
close all the windows
ribbons, bridges, papers your toys
a room full of twigs and leaves
to slide routines
zoom meetings with bird call
after school song stop
apple slices and kangkong
hourly wipe downs of sills and surfaces
to open up purses
vitamin enriched grains
fruits, sunflower seeds
millet sprays
doctor visits
to shift the spaces in our hearts
for a curved beak
for green so green
tinted with red and aquamarine
for your call
your name
to nest
and to grow around the gap
you left when you left.
