A Proper Scolding












I listened as the robin
scolded me with his squawking: 
“Hey look, I’m over here, 
don’t go over there!”
I’m sure he and his mate 
are raising their brood
in the large rhododendron 
under my bedroom window.
Don’t you worry, little bird
I will keep my social distance.
And thank you for reminding me
that despite all the death 
we hear of each day,
life has returned to our yard
   …life goes on.
