Winter Wren

Troglodytes hiemalis

~

How to find

centre of forest.

Joy the objective.

~

Tiny tail

shivers as he sings.

Delirious trill.

~

Troglodyte

darts into thickets,

creeps into crevasses.

~

Lifts an eyebrow,

joins a chime of wrens.

Elusive ripple,

~

varied trill,

incoherent whir,

tremble to warble.

~

Distinguish

the note, the half-note,

the tone, the tangle.

~

Forget where

you once were going,

indecisive

scribble bird.

All my best,

Jane
