Where Black Feathers Devour Defiance


Never mind this
Rough-cut thought
Cleft clear of the image orbit

This buckshot song
Chases yonderclouds
Wordflock circles shadowlight

In the one-tree-field
Lungleaves heave and cough
Blood summoned hunger

This outlawed voice
Calls down plaguecrows
Sore-mouth plaguecrows

Now listen close
It’s the toad’s oath
The gnarled and gnaw-worthy
Toad’s boast and final toast
