What is that chirping all about
In the burning tree this morning
A few notes thrown together
The beginnings of a song
That tries but can't quite
Get off the ground
It is the Verdin they say one
Of the world's smallest birds
Who never leaves the desert
Wings so trim and quick
You barely catch them passing
Back and forth this asterisk
Above all it surveys its song
There at the bottom of the page
