Sparrows’
twigs whisker between beaks
funneling to a robust belly-
song inflating in your guts
each millisecond you hold
unable to cantillate
the act of building
something for
purpose plunked in the tips of branches
where Wooly Bear caterpillars
stroll vertical
unable to see beyond the oak limb.
This is Evelyn Green’s land
tucked from fence to wide bend
within and without the town
an index finger length from
limestone boulders
used to scale the barbed -
jagged edges of boundary
keeping the kept, to
pluck the ewes from cages
eyes wide and soft
sparkling
in the procession of sheers.
