Periphery |
Be near enough to the periphery
to discern the wing-settle sounds
small birds make in a thicket,
their halls—
near enough for red to insist
that you regard it as haw,
rose-leavings,
know then, that bird-panic
sounds different to wing-settle’s
soft-rest after the flurry of flight,
they say—
