Worthy of Pause
Carolina wren lifts fluted song
skyward
in a forest spotlight
breezily pitched
like an opera worth staging
a sentiment of joy
its cheeky self
when measuring reserve
a song, over-stuffed
poised cliffhanger
from a winged vagabond
its agile volley of survival
wren
of brisk longing
that peeks through green
that breaks our corset-like indifference
buoyant chatter
that inhabits a small world detachment
choral company to dappled light
diva-like
bound
to the heated stillness of summer
