Vertical Birds.


Those turbid birdspirits
Hurl their mighty weathercock
poses
In either joy's frenzy or
Flighty trails of plucked
Avid stocks of airhewn leather

Through the bucklets of proffered waves
powdered ::: waffling
half buffeted, half flap powered wings
buttered under the branch quills
relinquished to the sudden calm


of stasis
