12,494. SONGBIRDS THAT BURY ME

SONGBIRDS THAT BURY ME
I've never had that reach : no
singing, just screech. My voice
is more a ladle than a teaspoon.
The one fellow I most resemble
there is that Alfalfa kid from
way back when.
-
In my ensemble are two turkeys
and a flugelhorn, each playing
the other. The Maltese Falcon
sits in sometimes too. His sound
is an added silence, profound.
