about

I Fed The Blue Jay

lyrics

You found an egg blue
small as the tip of your finger
lost, because no mother would take it back.

Fallen from the nest.
touched by your hand still
we set it out on leaves and waited for her to come.

Later you told me how a blue jay swept down
and stood as if a splendid table
had been set out for him.
And feasted on the small blue egg
breaking its shell and drinking deep
the yellow inside.

Foolish I was
if only I had wings to fly up
into the tree and put the egg
back into its nest.
Foolish as well,
for instinct would have tossed it away.
Nature held it’s sway
I fed the blue jay
