Bald Bird

Swelled, sweet shaped
dah-dah bird, a peering

cryptic soldier-slave,
my fate, my worm,

a crossed-out word
that means "faun".

Few females smell
such fame without

wanting a shoe-shine
or to try it on. I work

for nature. A beggar.
A dirty, white prophet-eer.

When you wake up
mysterious and pregnant

scarred with dreaming,
dusted wings, unexpected

gutteral heavings- bring
your little uncollected

feathers here.
