Urban Winter Birds 

Through antenna Vs,
past chimney masts,
beyond window screens,
we look for their wings
from our 3rd floor niche
but cannot spot them,
even as their notes filter
through snow, glass, and air.

Francine Rubin’s poetry has appeared in the chapbook Geometries (Finishing Line Press), the pamphlet The Last Ballet Class (Neon), the David Mikow Gallery (Baltimore), and francinerubin.tumblr.com.
