*Blackbird:
In a field, pecking corn;
At a pond, drinking;
At dawn, stretching;
At sunset, disappearing;
Chasing dinner, a bug.
Blackbird:
In flight, bringing the storm;
Circling my house, waiting;
Over sea, with the wind;
Spiraling up, diving down;
Quoting Poe, nevermore, nevermore;
At the window, knocking;
Bringing omens of trouble.

Blackbird in a tree, observing me.*
