Mockingbird Review

Incite one call

that growth matters.

A swoop of eyes

machined to watch

nature appear again

and the world buds

dark sisters

green shadows

that work best
under intense radiance.

They recognize curtains and linger on

numbed down pathways

ripped out coastlines.

They mark water

and adopt kindness

pretend not to salivate

all intention fixed

beyond the wire.
