The poem The American Tree Sparrow was originally published in the University of New Hampshire's literary magazine Aegis. It was inspired by Robert Frost, a dead bird I found in New Hampshire, a dream I had, and family history. If you would like to read more of my poetry you can find more at www.tesscongo.com.

The American Tree Sparrow
by Tess Congo
Dead! Beneath this oak tree,
wearing a leaf like a pillbox hat—
its veil, assuring
private darkness.
Beauty. Such a sealant
for tragedy. What feathers—
fine calico—and what
a sharp beak,
peeking.
I dreamt once—this bird in my bed
cocooned in a pocket of the mattress,
stuffed stiff as if with woodchips.
And finally, I had a choice,
a chance! Once my sister
had buried the pigeon
in our grandmother’s garden,
but now—I found the spade,
thin and undented. And I broke
the dirt from the earth. And I—
I found my sister’s whistle
and a lock of hair
that grew as I yanked it.
And I knew—I could never
bury this bird.
