House sparrow (Passer domesticus) with winter plumage: photo by 3268zauber, 3 January 2009
Cold floating days, difficult to keep body
Temp. up as planet cools off mysteriously
This P.M. two small grey birds bump
About in the rose bush for a while
A capella (no rush hour for once)
In last rays of tinny Christmas sun
While voluntary trumpets are quietly
Emitted by radio into Jerusalem foiled sky
Far off and to our great astonishment
O blue earth sounds your golden flower
From the bell of its silver horn
I didn’t think it would ever come back on
