Small Stones and Sexy Cello

A crow seesaws
On the telephone wire,
Dignity compromised,
Ducking and Rearing,
Until he is replaced
By a smug
Blue tit.


I walk in dusk
Like a shawl;
Like a cowl.


And the sexy cello I promised you is just at the other end of this link to Terri Windling's inspiring blog.

  1. I really like this. I can almost see the blue tit smiling and the crow thinking "damn you!"

  2. I like this one Lunar. Reminds me of the little ego battles the birds in my garden have every morning when I'm tossing breadcrumbs for them :)
