Seed a Chirp

human hunger be...just
'a pull' on a tree for...an
apple to eat

and birdseed hunger be...as
a pileate woodpecker and...the
'pile he ate' of the seed

just then it's mate sounded...and
'a peal' rang out in the trees...an
appeal for more seed to store

the pileate listened briefly and...it's
pulls on the suet-feed went faster...a
'pulse' had gone through its manner
