BACK
from girls and the boys who are yet girls
so sure is our fixed massacre
toward
living
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Robin, birdie, woodsman
Oh! Rigid principle of lap
Camp site, claim it!
Proud on you
Tent stake, pound the!
Ectopic
Shebang
Hymen noose
Boobles
Blue bells
Stamens oh!
Unnatural and yet
entirely so
NATURAL
Far far from the animal rage are we not
Dear woodsman?
Pecker Pecks
&
Peeps
the bird named pecker
pecking proudly
pecker peaks when peeping
Under Robin’s downy hood
Just a girl there

TWEAK!

Birdwatchers stumbling in
unprecedented numbers
Rush
Canvas leg straps!
High octane binos!

smoores?
Robin rise on scenic vista
floppy seizures needstruck
nursmaid, handmaid, handjob, wolf
dips water forced west
Aborted starling
Transferring birdlime
And then the birdbrain builds
And Robin does it
And birdie does it
And Fawn, two Fawns called Doe
They do it
Pull the tiny slaughtered figures
Across the witness
That our eyeball is
We grows soft!
In the Clammy Locust.
Robin red breast bore me whole
Birdie sphincter birdie hole
If I touch him up he came
Little robin red breast game
Breast with hairs and ones without
Robin red breast makes me shout
Triple murder homicide
Kissed their legs and how we cried
Little Mr. red breast dear
Peck this kindled fire here
Under leaves this hurricane
My little love you make profane
Doe slips down from the mountaintop
She and I will make you stop?
