magpie in poetry

my heart is a magpie
lining its nest
with all the shiny rocks
ebony eyes cannot allow lost
chitinous beak can come across
caw
caw

when my heart stumbles over a pebble
so bright I don’t want to stop looking at it
when my heart stumbles over a pebble
so luminous I have to write down everything about it
right there so I’ll never forget it
when my heart stumbles over a pebble
so strange I know I’ll have to copy down what it is
so other people can see it too
so I can make other people see it too
that’s what it is
that’s what it all is
my heart is a magpie
caw
