This poem uses imagery of blackbirds and circles to explore themes of unity and duality. It describes a blackbird whirling in the autumn winds among twenty snowy mountains as the only moving thing. The speaker sees the blackbird as being "involved" in what they know, and its flight marks the edge of one of many circles. The blackbird represents the interconnection between the individual and collective.
