male call

a backyard observation


youreadyoureadyouready
youready

is that the red cardinal
or mr. mocking bird
atop evergreen tree


youreadyoureadyouready
youready

calling out, frantically
   so audibly

youreadyoureadyouready
youready


from leafless limbs
   another tree
a return to sender
at the constant inquiry

YOUREADY!
