Squirrel Feeder

not a red squirrel

chipping angrily

at all comers . . .

but a gray squirrel

hunched to feed

from the chipped rung

around whom gather

the chickadees,

goldfinches,

nuthatches,

sparrows,

titmice . . .

sharing . . .



How could I

bang on the glass

to scatter this

peaceable kingdom?
