The Fit



It's not too easy to trim
The pileated woodpecker to a poem
Because the long beak and the name
Won't fit a convenient frame

But the beak shims under the bark
Where the cold-stunned beetles lurk
And the long bill rings in its work
In the sap-vacated dark

With a stiff and a scarlet crest
And a white splash on its breast
It circles the tree trunks lest
You prove a catching pest

Two thirds the size of a crow
Wary of watchers below
It sounds like an axman's blow
In the darkening woods and the snow

Pavel Chichikov
