Found Art

When I hacked back the ivy
and trimmed off the leaves
I was left with a sculpture
for one who believes
in found art, nature's culture.

There's no gallery
to hold it, no fancy great hall,
but it's there for each bird
with an artistic soul
who enjoys the absurd.

I'm not bothered if they
unwittingly smirch
my uncrafted sculpture
through use as a perch,
come wren or come vulture.
