Beautifully written, capturing natural history as a poem
small brook . . .
a wren’s beak dips

"into the babbling" is a wonderful poetic line taking us back to the "small brook" and where "a wren’s beak dips" and back "into the babbling". A masterful cyclical poem just as natural history is sublime.

a greenfinch moves
its green around
