a crane banks on his final

as if we might remember

Limerick 57
The young swan was ridden with shame,
And his cruel mother’s words were to blame:
“You’re big and you’re dumb,
And that’s all you’ll become!”
And in time, that’s all he became.

storms (shadorma)
i love storms;
when black clouds appear
with lightning
and thunder,
i get a tingle of fear
mingled with wonder

with a porthole in the clouds
is like new-found faith–
suddenly, we see the light
but who can hold on to it?

emits a fine, high-pressure

red-winged blackbird (shadorma)
they say he’s
very vigorous,
flying from
nest to nest,
but the word polygamous
really fits him best

limerick 56
a long-legged colt from fort worth
complained at the time of his birth
that there wasn’t much room
for his legs in the womb–
and i’m sure that his mother concurred
