strange little bird  (  a  s t r a n g e  l i t t l e  p o e m  )

…

strange little bird

the feathered kind

with off-beat flaps

never in time


your oblique beak

& confused plume

unclassified

none can assume


your species re

taxonomy

truly a winged

anomaly


strange little bird

where have you gone?

i miss your chirps

your quirks, your song

...
