       It was winter, near freezing,I'd walked through a forest of firswhen I saw issue out of the waterfalla solitary bird.It lit on a damp rock,and, as water swept stupidly on,wrung from its own throatsupple, undammable song.It isn't mine to give.I can't coax this bird to my handthat knows the depth of the riveryet sings of it on land.-- The Dipper by Kathleen Jamie from 'Selected Poems'#VerseThursday #TodaysPoem #poetry #CurrentlyReading @bookstodon(Art credit: Deborah Butts)
