When I see a bluejay
I am reminded of my Grandmother
(Bluejays were her favorite bird)
She visits me on rough days
and
On contemplative days
She flies over my head
Sometimes I see her at my window
In the winter
When I can’t get out of bed
She caws into the sunlight
Sporting feathers brilliant blue
Someday I will be a bluejay too
