Birds Do Ballet
Birds do ballet out there on the grass.
Gulls have come in from the sea.
Blackbirds are always here, and so are crows,
with jackdaws, too, and magpies.
A silent ballet, nothing to hear
within this small apartment,
but you can hear a ballet through your eyes
as these birds poke and peck -
a hop here and a walk there.
