The Thrush at the Sill

      Bright beyond belief the morning sun
      Presents a double blazing image
      Above the sink, bewitching just enough of dawn
      For me to throw both windows back in homage.
5     I went forgetful about my round of chores,
      Touching openness neither less nor more
      Than I was bid by my round of chores.
      Sunset had sun exit as it had come,
      In doubled glory. A thrush burst out at once
10    Loudly loud, as if woods and house were one
      And eaves leaves.- And thank, yes, forever thank
      Such song for how it came and its coming in
      To wake indoor woods beside my sink.
      Thank thrush for landing home in homing in.
