Sounding … Off

Gelid suet balls
cemented in dispenser
need to be shattered—
by pounding on the railing—
into edible pieces

Fence-Sitters

I raise my eyes as
dove-duo triples in size–
no surprise: fresh food!

Letting Go

Windy winter day:
Oak relinquished brittle leaves—
I mistook for birds

November

Winter is coming,
Habited juncos return—
Little grey nun-birds!

Starlings have
come to strip my tree;
it sounds like
a jungle
in my back garden; waxwings
have missed out this year.
