The shortest day

A jay sits on the lilac tree
round as a grapefruit.

The wind sinks in its teeth.
Chill below -40C.

This is lovely :) Thinking about such a fluffed up jay is great. It's amazing they can withstand -40! (Well, I hope they can?? :0) -Scout

Yeah, they overwinter up here. Though when it's that cold you don't usually see them outside (but sometimes!)
