Improv 47 (“Clear Night” C. Wright)

“’Bird Hush and Bird Song’”

Green emerald glazed hands
welded for giving and getting
displayed on the trunk of the palm
holds seedling snacks for those singing
twitchy necked definitions of freedom.

He hung the slip-casted weapons to
snooze the crude cheeping at dawn and
gun-down that provoking raucous.

Now, only the rooster crows, but
his internal clock is armed for
Eastern Standard Time.
