Birdwatcher

Writer: Hearth & Coffin StaffHearth & Coffin Staff

By Devon Neal



The only thing I know

about the girl with the spider-legged umbrella

and coin-like glasses

who entered the parking garage door as I was leaving

is how quickly she stopped and looked up

at the drizzle of flute notes above us

and said to me, a stranger,

“Bird in here.”
