our silent twin laugh
Cackle grackle tee hee hee
How much more annoying can a weird laugh be?
You have not met my twin or me apparently.
Our silent twin laugh could lobotomize thee...

Bird of the Badlands
Bird of the Badlands
Who is a Russell?
And what can he be?
A Crow, a Grackle,
or Brewer's like me.
Is he a Raven,
a Warbler, or Dat?
All the same color,
but don't wear a hat.
I'm a Mocking Bird,
however take care.
The things that I say,
can fly through the air.
By
Josehf Lloyd Murchison...

A Lifelong Journey
On the night when vessel
was empty
grackle did not sing.
For the sake of honey,
smelling a dead city, after
the rape of a daughter.
A black buck jumps on the
queen of roses, stoned after
the death of a green house.
A python had wrapped around
the child on bed,
come, save the red crying moon.
A soft drizzle wets the eyes.
I can see only stars –
disturbed by the winds
SATISH VERMA...

Mail Lady
The van idles: inside its cage
she hops like a grackle
from dashboard to counter.
Lady seer, shuffling the motley,
the significant and trivia.
Not 'all seeing', a Cassandra nevertheless,
revealing the stamped
and foreseeable.
A flick of her wrists
between each numbered box,
and we enter an unread limbo
until we open that tin mouth
reaching for bolts out of the blue,
and delayed news from snails....

Low Dust Clouds Bristled
Low dust clouds bristled
In the sky but I did not see;
A lone grackle whistled
A warning I did not perceive.
The world would not cease turning
In its cruel mockery.
I sat upon a rock, faltering –
Because of things that wouldn’t be.
Only distraction can persuade –
Only sleep can steal
Such sadness that pervades
And hot tears that swell
But hotter yet came a wind
That brushed my fingers
As would one consoling
And dried my tears....

Lying Witch Twins
We are making hot chocolate the witch twins lied.
I could not see exactly what the cauldron had inside.
But I suspected they were not giving us the whole truth.
They are diabolical, Mrs. Hootie Belle and Mrs. J. Ruth.
Grickley Grackle, and snackle fizz. They were stupefied by Rack.
He is their uncle, and his sense of humor is macabre, rather black.
They turned into crocodiles with teeth that scared me away.
The last time I saw them they were chasing each other, I’d say....

She Tried To Give Clown Some Birds
Birds flock her way, chasing Debbie all over town
Parakeets, gold finch, cardinals, wrens lightly brown.
She has no idea why. Maybe because she does not put them down?
I wish you could give some to me said a trickster bit of a clown.
Debbie willed the clown penguins, ostriches, and one crow.
They were stubborn and ran off, away from the clown, though.
Why didn’t you like the guy? Debbie asked them, using a voice so sweet.
All she heard was cackle, grackle, cheep, tweet, cheep, tweet....
