When the Cardinal Sings
David J Walker
The first alert of the
Coming dawn
Drawn in silhouette
Across the azure horizon
The Cardinals song
Sung in imbricate solos
Whose name does she
Sing
Whose spirit is carried
Across the morning sky
On her wing
I read the morning paper
To see if it is me
COPLA 84 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World
Unchecked Bad Guys will romp rampage
And turn World into warring ground :
Good Guys resist
At the height of summer advantage
Good Guys rein in secede no ground :
Soon comes the mist
Bad Guys bait entice fascinate
Give them the long swinging tight rope
To strangle in knots
Let not thoughts enmesh imbricate
In life and death struggles sans hope :
Bide time Yin rots
