Sharp scrappy crown
Held high by regal neck
Ruffed grouse
Covered in snow
An ancient cemetery
Expecting the sun
Poles striking the ground
I am the loudest creature
In the whole forest
Stoic evergreen
Failure to contain
A hundred bird songs
Timid pink moon
Disappears softly
Chickadee’s song
On a painted sky
Great horned owl’s silhouette
Taking flight
South wind
Warm and persuasive
Running north
Perfect morning sun
Shines across the frozen lake
Whispers through the pines
Long-tailed squirrel
Bounding across the street
At the crosswalk
Warming air measured
By the layers and mittens
Left at home
