The robin is the cleanest.
Always first at the bird bath
On the edge, he checks everything -
traffic, cleanliness, desire.
birds are quick, very quick.
tentative flicks become whooshes
water flying everywhere more and more whooshes
Now the head dip followed by the whoosh
Two more times for good measure -
Then up to the fence. Shakes off the last drops.
Gone.
A little bird appears. Nervous. In then out. In then out.
Tries a little whoosh. Another.
No style at all.
