Sweet Carolina Wren

How did you get in

and how long have you been perched

at my kitchen sink?


Do not be afraid

O small intrepid brown wren 

Though I know you must


And tell you, I must

the only way to free you 

is to frighten you


away from the glass 

toward the wide open door

Please forgive the chase


I'm sorry we can't

explain civilization

or clear view windows
