Sunset, Wings
Crows descry the sky,
desecrate the cyanic,
scrying and crying.
Swallows, I swear, not
swifts; but swift—swoop, swivel—whose
scissored silhouettes,
belated, become
a quibble of pipistrelles,
tippling acrobats.
Who haunts the hill? Lo,
one-note woe: oh well, twilight
throws in the towel.
