How could it be
the sleek goldfinch
I see
each day
became the
round chickadee in winter’s snow upon the deck?
Now I know
they share the seeds
the genes
the species
mates and dates
and yellow fates.

Mother still at 72
Children 36 and 38
Grands at 4 and 2
Pets at 12 and 10.
Like an iceberg
Memory melting
Adrift in changing times
Wide bottom principled.
Seas swirl round
Horns pierce fog
Boats pass leery
Fish respect.
Mother still at 72
Dates to keep
Boundaries to set
Trust to feed and grow.
All rights.
