Early In The Morning

Early in the morning I arise
dressed in work overalls, I
readied myself to walk the road
and as I exited the front door
of my apartment building, my eyes
drifted downwards, only to glimpse
a dead bird, lying stiff as far as I
could tell on the cold red tiles
a dead bird I thought, wondering what
species it was, but I was no expert
I walked away with tears filling my eyes
a dead bird

Why?

A/N In my youth thinking about dead birds...oh my...I literally saw a dead bird...I cried and wrote this poem...how I have matured...lol
