Sing

I am a girl
with eggshell skin
and bluebird eyes,
nesting among
every color and
every song.

We sing our souls,
sweet and fleeting,
loud with meaning--
blue jay and blackbird,
robin and raven,
together.

We cannot fall,
only fly.
We cannot sink,
only sing.
We cannot apart
what we can do together.

Every color--
every chorus--
This is America.

And this is beautiful.
