Bird Feed Seed
She heard a bird herd
at filled seed feeder below
our third floor window.
Fifty sixty or
more flying from ground up to
feeder on to fence,
fleeing from the cats
and car traffic noises,
then back in hunger
in below zero
weather of frozen house pipes
and colder people.
When it is this bad
we bundle up to refill
twice every day.
They repay with song
and sweet sweet chitter chatter
on matter at hand
