- W4381949571 abstract "Sun, Birds, and Leaves Michael Lavers (bio) poetry, Michael Lavers, nature, mother, son, death, happiness, acceptance Sun, birds, and leaves, outside my window.Sun, and birds, and leaves, and a valley,and a lake, and beyond that, hills. The sunthat is on me. The birds that are birds.Small wings and frail backs. Sparrowsbobbing in a cold wind on the wheat stalksnear the fence, perched sideways, hanging on,some nearly upside down, tearing off seeds.Yes, I watched my mother die. She moaneduntil she had no voice to moan but was stillin pain, and I have not forgotten. The seizurein the bathtub, getting in with herand holding her up so she did not drown.Who's to say things should be different?It is spring and there are birds, and sun,and leaves, and my happiness in this momentknows death. It has agreed to the moaning.It seeks neither recompense nor relief.Heaven is here, and I have not forgotten.I smile because I want to, knowing.I stare and stare. I ask nothing to change.
