Starlings bathe in the blocked gutter
just above the window where I perch,
rain water splashes down the pane,
I would unblock it but I would miss out
so I will leave it a bath for the birds.
I remembered to buy bird food
yesterday when I did my shop
and the garden is filled with Sparrows
bulking up on nuts, and their chattering's
and chirrups are a welcome sound.
