tap, tap, tap
open the window
wings fly swiftly away
tap, tap, tap
open the window
look in the eye of a northern flicker
get the ladder
put a metal plate over the hole
tap, tap, tap
open the window
persistent pretty bird
scrounge in the garage
find cedar peak shakes
assemble six sided hollow
add a roof
get the ladder
mount the hollow over the hole
rustling
wings flying back and forth
beaks carrying sticks
squeals, whistles, squiggles
no translation
sense the joy of life in the sounds
