SUSAN STEWART ~





Graywolf Press 2017







Wrens


their tumbling joy

decanted descanting

over cobble

stones in and out

of firethorn back

and forth to gingko

who knows

who will

ever know

what net

binds them

loosening

song?

I would not

lose them

could not lose

them know

if there's

another

place another

world another life

there must be wrens.
