Postscript (from No 26, November 1955)

I say the stanza ends, but it never does,

1. to a red-eyed vireo (from Talking to the Birds)

Minimalist of the tree tops,

2. to a northern gannet (from Talking to the Birds)

For like cold sweat coated every inch of the ferry,

9. to an Asian shrike (from Talking to the Birds)

For a view of you, one sidetracked bird

10. to a sooty shearwater (from Talking to the Birds)

You look like a chimney swift who can't find his way home
