No fixed


No fixed
A gender
Gone

Gone from
Five to fifty

Gone from
Sparrow song
From callow reed
To plover
In plain sight

The wet line
Disbursed
Of a brood
Receeds
From family
And alarm

A kestrel
Jewels the sky

Hold the twig
Rescue the drowning bat
Which stayed too late
For mosquitoes

Soon this pond
Will echo
Against my ribs
The nature of ice
Expanding
