she wants to know who

a daring dame

who has no name

at least not one
she’ll share

has moved into

the woods by us

as far as we’re aware

and she wants
to know who

though i’m sure
i don’t know

and when i ask why
she won’t say

she asks who again

and i want it to end
and i wish she would
just fly away
who what? who who?
not sure what to do
i throw up my arms
in frustration
she’s becoming a pest
as she stares
from her nest
a silent and sure
accusation
it ain’t me i insist
but whoever it is
i would give you
their name if i knew
so please go away
it’s been too long a day
and what does she say?
she says “who?”
