And wonder about the angle
What appears to be his knee
Is actually his ankle...

Awaiting the geese

When he saw his friend Ringo
A tall pink Flamingo
Become the next messy road kill

That doesn’t fit, the blue one
Are you the blue flamingo?

like a precious stone some memories 

the sound of a perfect stream 

the pink flamingos crossing into shadow 
lit by the eastern sun

Why is that so, the natural question begs
Their bodies are large
To understand is hard
How they support themselves on these long skinny pegs...

just the hour their world's afire

orange and pink sky
hues reflected in water
nighttime is dreaming

elegance and grace
commanding all the twilight

On purple clouds, flamingos preening
in blue sky-lands, one summer’s evening,
turned to hear the turtle-island
croon to the surfers in the sea, 
or that is how it seemed to me, 
one summer’s evening, dreaming ...

Why is that so, the natural question begs

festive lark 
she has a deer for pet 
that day chases flamingos 
fawning at Santa Domingo 
Deers and squirrels shutters yet
All quiet at weeks end

or are they pantomiming

as buzzards returning
to old Hinckley
seek the memory
of something stinky
