Attractive small songbird of grasslands, gardens, fields, and agricultural areas. Native to India and Southeast Asia, with introduced populations scattered elsewhere around the world. Typical adults dark chestnut-brown above, white below, with fine dark scaly pattern on belly; some populations duller brown. Juveniles plain brown all over with slightly paler underparts. Typically found in small flocks, sometimes mixed with other species of munia.

Shell

Nothing, nothing at all
  is born,

dies, the shell says again

  and again,

from the depth of hollowness.

  Its body

swept off by tide - so what?

  It sleeps

in sand, drying in sunlight,

  bathing

in moonlight.  Nothing to do

  with sea

or anything else.  Over

  and over

it vanishes with the wave.
