Carrion Call
Where They,
and the whippoorwill,
do warble up above
neath waning, turpentine moonshine
those evensongs
I long to be a part thereof
—to ever trill their twilit shrills
of naught but love.
Nighttime madrigals I scrawl,
imbibed on mulled wine
—honeyed, and berried,
my varied arbor drought.
My dripping ink intones
hollowed hymns
—pantomime.
Far from-like the star-bright psalms
the storied Songbirds wrought.
Much and more,
Their call is all I've sought
—berceuses crooned to lull the hart
and to Their Will my heart align.
My mind does dance
mine eyes do tire
yet my limbs heed the chants
to be amongst that moonlit Choir
neath waxing, turpentine, moonshine.
