Wren's Nest
Like at the wren's nestLike at rock eagleIronies swirl and hearts are twisted tautAround their pivot pointsThe stag scrapes his felt on a scrubby dogwood treeLike at the warm springsLike at key clubResiduals are what get to oneReach toxic levels with timeEven the pretty fawn is full of wolf worms in the summerOh, so horribly intensely I prayedLet me evaporateBut the dying autumn leaves are beautiful, tooLike on the flint riverLike at the mica minesConversations escalatedVoices trembled and crackedThe barn owl's white belly is like a flash bulb Instantly illuminated by a moonbeamLetras de cancionesAs he swoops silently before usToward a fateful meeting in the forestOh, so horribly intensely I prayedLet me evaporate
