“Romeo and Juliet, One Black One Blue”
During my morning routine of relief
Dueling flocks chirped sacrilege
Or searching for their kin’s perfidy
Hiding their revolutionary ardor
The short shrills were too close to be
Outside the wood panels
That lacked insulation
Hitchcock’s Birds overwhelmed
My mind’s cinematic creations
Caitlin opened the fan door
Meant for dispelling the foul and
Bereaved the broadcast of stiff birds
We placed them in a stereo box
Wrapped with a pink ribbon and
Buried them behind the visual arts building
Three feet under red Georgia clay
Interrupted with the roots of Marci’s stump
During my morning routine of relief
Dueling flocks chirped sacrilege
Or searching for their kin’s perfidy
Hiding their revolutionary ardor
The short shrills were too close to be
Outside the wood panels
That lacked insulation
Hitchcock’s Birds overwhelmed

Caitlin opened the fan door
Meant for dispelling the foul and
Bereaved the broadcast of stiff birds
We placed them in a stereo box
Wrapped with a pink ribbon and
Buried them behind the visual arts building
Three feet under red Georgia clay
Interrupted with the roots of Marci’s stump
