“Catbird Seat” — C.Birde, 5/19
Returned
– at last –
that sweet-voiced
family.
Descendants.,
all.
Clad in morning
coats and caps,
feathered gray.
Now,
I will put away
– at last –
winter’s bleak
attire,
remove my heart
from safeguarded
place,
return it
– at last –
to its nestspace
betwixt my ribs.
At last.
— C.Birde, 5/19

Such a beautiful piece. Really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of this piece and the sigh of relief.

Thank you ❤️ We have been “patrons” to a family of Gray Catbirds for the past dozen years or more, and I so look forward to their return each spring! To have such connection to Nature — to be recognized by such lovely creatures — is a precious gift 🙂
