gray jay in my campsite




like that camp thief, the gray jay

boldly inviting herself

into my campsite, my grace to enjoy

i bravely venture into your precincts



hoping you will take note of my presence

and drop scraps of manna

or at least, take pleasure

in my being in your vicinity



that you may in your sketchbook

sketch my form and note my color

to later open your guarded tablet

to cross check and tick my name
