Under maple brigades, light strictures abide by robin rules:
1. always baby blue
2. orange breasted bards sing spring
3. color is unrelated to commonality
Command meant cold weak winter
to the nest-builder, to the restful guilder,
money at work neither moves nor behooves
and as the sun passes energy through the sky
there is no economy, no transaction, no utility.
Settle meant another twig, another torn page, another tinsel task,
flight may be energetic, but nothing's wasted, nothing's burned,
bark up the right trunk, it's branch season: the family angle,
a protector on root, never a blink beak or an empty eye
as home becomes what a thoughtful bird means.
