ANONYMOUS, UNTIL ITS VOICE
It is a plain Australian grey thrush,
more exactly titled a Strike-Thrush
commonly the harmonious thrush.
It's not usually noticed until it calls;
as if 'Colluricincla harmonica' is the
voice Anonymous takes as a bird.
Like sweet water between stones he's
our liquid songster on watch of terra australia
striking pleasing, glorious, melodious notes.
I once heard one way remote, way east of Alice
Springs, like cool water inside dry canyons walls;
and I heard one yesterday in my own backyard
and still am left in song echoes, feeling visited.
