A bird will come and perch Feb. 19, 2024

on the most crooked branch

to swallow the longest thorn

and sing in its lifetime

a single song only once and die.

Remember, we who happen to hear it sing,

its first and the last song

it had searched long far and wide

for a place to build a nest.

It built its home here on a branch

of this skeletal tree,

the tree which went dry

in the waiting till the destined bird came

summoned by the season's call.

Sushama Karnik.
