“she smiled / a woman holding / a small god”

— Richard Vargas

why i feed the birds
by Richard Vargas

once
i saw my grandmother hold out
her hand cupping a small offering
of seed to one of the wild sparrows
that frequented the bird bath she
filled with fresh water every day

she stood still
maybe stopped breathing
while the sparrow looked
at her, then the seed
then back as if he was
judging her character

he jumped into her hand
began to eat
she smiled

a woman holding
a small god


This poem appeared in Guernica, Revisited by Richard Vargas, published by Press 53, 2014. Shared here with deep gratitude.

As one of the nation's "birdiest" states, Louisiana plays an extraordinary role in helping to protect the hundreds of millions of birds that pass through the state's skies each spring and fall, according to LSU assistant professor and bird conservation scientist Erik Johnson.

In this Q&A, Johnson discusses what makes Louisiana so important to migrating birds, the challenges they encounter along the way, and how simple actions can help make their journeys safer: https://lawildlifefed.org/2026/10/lsu-expert-birdiest-state-louisiana-holds-key-role-in-protecting-migratory-birds/
