Redwing

swampstruck gymnast,
blackbird whose throat
has brawled since dawn,

rhinal medleys
glottal within
your singer’s nose,

garnish gossip,
pleasure your mate,
and maul the scale;

musical dark brawn;

hearing such nodes
and narial notes,
marrows stir and wake,

sombrous oak
stands splashed in ink
of rough fresh songs,

chortling liquor,
signet of spring,
oh lyric shale;

musical, each flake.
