Alone Valentine

The sunlight through
their tail-wings when
they’re at the feeder
in the morning is
lovely and ferocious
but do you really think
writing in crumbling
columns is a way of
imprisoning their songs
it seems I have
encouraged a war
that can only lead
to their destruction
then my own
the afternoons
are calmer when
the feeder’s empty
I’m alone
