Night falls much later
The gloaming sighs, glass of wine;
swifts dart overhead

One man speaks the truth
Billions believe a lie
Fledgling flees the nest

Birdsongs presage spring
as I walk through frosted trees –
the frigid moon greets

Lunch by stagnant pools
A great tit’s insistent call
We all wish for spring

Birds hang on the breeze
from warmer western reaches
Winter’s way to tease
