Birdsoar
Once thicket thickened,
Mossy, leafy
Underlay.
Chance to catch starling
Or barn swallow
Amidst slumbering umber.
Eyes pinched--tiny prickles--
Star thistle glistens
By green-lit moon.
Craned and swoop,
Echoic;
Plume beats hilarity.
Lest they sail asunder,
Beaks...
White capped--bold and noble--
Strand guarded;
Acronymic to the other
Guided by the sea.
