Kinglet's ruby crown
flares, catches the morning sun.
Spring. We're all on fire.

April 24: Lifting rain, birdsong
Kristen Lindquist
Rain stopped and the sky began to clear just before sunset. One last tendril of mist floated above Rockport village. When we got home, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet was singing in the yard, its sweet, burbling little song much louder than one might expect from such a tiny bird. On a short walk before dinner we heard other birds singing: cardinal, titmouse, Song and White-throated Sparrows.
Buds on the azalea,
birdsong before dark.
My head grows clearer.
