’tis nesting season ( nosaes gnitsen sit’ )
…
larks up the stuffed arse
of a scarecrow host
settled in the crack
with straw galore
where the air is warming
up the incubator
snipes take a nap
in a hiker’s knapsack
caw, there’s a jackdaw
on a cooling tower
chaffinches with gathered twigs
on the brass band’s stand
pied wagtails
inside a postbox
widgeons under wigs
of judges in the courthouse
one quack for innocent
two for boil alive
noisy oyster catchers
at it in the attic
ten thousand barn owls
in the garden shed
goshawks & auks
flapping in your head
pigeons in me cuckoo clock
coo & crack anew
…
Beautiful
