wishing you peace, joy, light, & grace Trevor Corp, Untitled, relief print, 8.5 x 6 inches Vermont Studio Center wishes you peace, joy, and happiness this holiday season and throughout 2020. Anatomy of a Chickadee oh, little;                body small hunched on the branch stiff crunch of snow over gravel, the only sound tonight. you know                 to slow                             your heart-beat your breath.             your core asks little when you want it to.  I need to know. my control is a window, latched.             a heart-box.  I only repeat flight,             away from. your slim feathers,             tucked in, insulate & protect. it's too cold.             I think:  I'll be safe here.—Sarah Audsley Audio Recording of "Anatomy of a Chickadee" Trevor Corp is VSC's Plant Manager and an artist; Sarah Audsley is a poet, VSC's Writing Program Coordinator, and a VSC staff artist.  Vermont Studio Center P.O.
