Robins1 in Love
William Logan
 
 
Branched like an artery2,
 the dying oak leafs out
 with February robins.
 This is their layover（中途停留） month,
 
down to the Keys and back.
 True snowbirds!
 A man with a .45 and a measured eye
 could pick them off one by one,
 
or sketch3 them -- but why bother?
 Imagination is enough,
 like that bed you might
 have shared with someone else.
 
They're chaste4, chasing each other --
 one wing in the future, one in the past.
