After Yesterday
After yesterday
afternoon’s blue
clouds and white rain
the mockingbird
in the backyard
untied the drops from
leaves and twigs
with a long singing.
by A.R. Ammons (1926–2001)
Northern Mockingbird at The Cornell Lab of Ornithology
Thanks for posting this. A. R. Ammons is an excellent poet who is sadly neglected these days.
