from Red Crow Artworks
BIRDS OF THE UNIVERSE
CONGREGATE IN REISTERSTOWN
Chirps and whistles
wear straw hats
made in Bogotá.
The orange cardinal’s loop
inside a bright green maple
is a political statement
pertaining
to the Middle East
or Central America,
whichever culture
is most vulnerable
at any given moment.
Finches nest
for the next three-hundred years
in an industry-woven
shadow-eaten
machinegun-beaten
straw hat.
