One for the Blackbird
Cold finger across
warm lips curved in an "o".
She sings a song for ghostly
companions at her table round:
warm lips curved in an "o".
She sings a song for ghostly
companions at her table round:
One for the blackbird
(needle flashes, piercing leather
attached and untanned)
Two for the crow
(stained thread follows
its metal steed, over and under)
One for the cutworm
(string pulled taut
across the jagged opening)
and one to grow
(knotted ending
to a vermillion beginning).
