Blackbirds of Selkirk
fix you with a sidelong glance,
this one does so
from the Sheriff's Court Wall.
My head level with his orange stylus,
he sings to the rain
on a dreich day.
No fear in his cadence
or in his eye.
As clouds rumble on
I know bird and man
get no closer than this.
He's like a person the way
we hear each other's song,
but shyly tiptoe opposite paths
into the same winter.
