a trio of cowbirds perch aloft, screaming
on skeletal limbs of a wintering elm
surveying the work of more diligent
nesters while scheming a plan
to evict them come spring

congress in session

on skeletal limbs of a wintering elm
surveying the work of more diligent

beneath the cloud-shrouded moon
she’s wearing diamonds tonight
in stillness but for droplets drizzling
every bough alive, bedazzled
in fluorescent-kissed ambiance
winter tree aching for the sun
