Back of our yard
is a great big Acer tree, and a few evergreens, where
resident aviators like to stay out of the cold
daytime, you’ll see them leave the nest
soaring overhead – for summat tasty
But when it looks like the sun’s going away and
insects and worms can’t be retrieved from hardened ground
return they will to enjoy a feast, collected
during the day by mum and dad – only to come out at
sunrise, when they’ll do the same again
