god + a robin

tis only tiny god, i said
my thumb is larger than its head
how come you made it
helpless so, to navigate 
this ice and snow

and i, i love this reddened breast
who hops about my mortal nest
it pretty's up this cold stark land
but is that beauty all its worth?

it struggles god for worms on
earth
it's coldness haunts the bones
of me
come look here god, come...
look here....see...
it suffers just to live... to be....
