The binocular owlA
fastened to a limbB
like a lanternC
all night longD
-
sees where allE
the other birds sleepF
towhee under leavesG
titmouse deepF
-
in a twighouseG
sapsucker grippedH
to a knothole lipI
redwing in the reedsG
-
swallow in the willowJ
flicker in the oakK
but cannot see poorL
whippoorwillJ
-
under the hillJ
in deadbrush nestM
who's awake tooN
with stricken eyeO
-
flayed by the moonP
her brindled breastM
repeats repeats repeats its pleaJ
for crueltyJ
