why should I want to look at you
when you are cold
so cold that it makes my eyes hurt
just to be near you
and so open that none of my armor will keep me
from the sight of birds?
because, you tell me, even cold
can be beautiful
and birds are sometimes wrong
God is open, you tell me
come outside
God still loves
the grumpy and the unimpressed.
(I wanted to write about gopher tortoises, which, with the cabybara, share the title of The Most Unimpressed Animals Ever.
