City Birds..

Behold the city birds

They wear fancy pink,

Pleats unkempt, blots of ink.

You give them hope, I dare you there--

They suck your red, vile and bare.




Joe strums the Memphis blues ’neath the parapet;

They look at him, kiss him soft; and turn him wisdom-red.

The city birds scrape him out and throw at him a gun

The gun weeps loud, yearns for a path; the path that sinks the sun.




…..And  tidy natives chide her off,

For she sketches baby rhymes....
