The Wren

the little wren had some how found it's way into my house
it would fly in a half circle and then slam (as muck as a wren can slam) into the window trying to get out
i pulled the curtains over the window, the wren just went to another window
i opened the doors, but for some reason it would not go near them
the wren hit the window again and again, finally it was stunned and sat on the sill
i cupped the wren in my hands a softly as i could
and returned it the great outdoors, to the branches of the lavender bush
the wren stayed there for what seemed like a long time till it flitted away
