Thank you for the meditation on the birds and its symbolic (mis)uses. In the spirit of your poem, I’ll happily admit to writing a poem about hummingbirds through the glass.
One of my earliest memories is of a bird that froze to death in the snow. I made a linocut of the fragments of that memory, I’ll have to share with you sometime.

There's no shame in bird poems, the list of poets who've written them is long and venerable!
Birds sneak into most of my poetry (or fly, I guess I should say).
Many such cases!
I really enjoyed the resurrection imagery in the second stanza. I'm looking forward to the Symbolic World magazine!
Thanks, Drew.
Yes, we're all excited to see it out there in the world!
You had me at the Keats mention
If you haven't read it already, the biography of Keats by W. Jackson Bate is awesome.

Wow. Yeah.
