(SPRING 2021) In Silence | Megan Rudberg

Updated: Jan 20, 2022

In the city that doled out miracles,

The robins came to rest

Hoping not for a handout,

But for a horizon that grew brighter and brighter

The more they batted their wings


And I breathed quietly in my bed,

Stale breath

In a deep sleep


They thrashed in their trussing,

Agitated as the miracles ran through loose, soft fingers,

Their were feet stained with mud,

Brown scales peeling

As they wept


My eyes fluttered open,

Vision hazy with the gauze of sleep,

And I saw a glowing little miracle at the foot of my bed


I picked it up,

And fell back into slumber

With it clutched to my chest


In silence
