without the birds

word is, birds are dying.
songbirds, fledglings, dying.
we're asking that 
people stop feeding
the birds. we don't
know why they're dying.

but without the birds

what will i do?

because word is, 
people are dying.
nobody seems to know
how many are dying.
people are dying
and you are dying

and why? why are you dying?

and the birds are dying.

and the birds...

the birds are my only consolation.

how will I survive
you dying
without feeding the birds?
