      1. Yes, because hope has feathers,
        and it sings–as dear Emily taught.

        At Cornell’s ornithology lab just now
        I learned about “Paired-up” goldfinches.
        They make “virtually identical flight calls.”
        So on your next walk, listen for that.
        The nest won’t be far away.
