February 7, 2011



Moving my woodpile,
I disturbed a mouse
who scurried to her burrow,
abandoning her pantry.

A riot of chickadees
crowded my feeders,
while a flock of waxwings,
a band of silent ghosts,

gathered on low branches
of the honeysuckles.
Soon, clouds began to part,
a line across the west opened,

and a slash of gold
woke up the gray.
