Finch/ the thing that's funny about leaving friends on the train
poems by Carlos Jimenez
Finch
The brown finch is digging a hole in the dirt under a tree. He flutters around, to carve a divot for his little lemon body.
He digs and looks up. Digs and looks up.
He does it very fast and can never focus
On just digging or just looking up.
He's a survivor, his entire existence is survival,
And I get to watch.the thing that's funny about leaving friends on the train
is that you're on the platform
and they speed away from you so goddamn fast
they bolt away from you.You can find Carlos Jimenez on Instagram @carloscantdance
