BESTIARY

Good
morning, good
morning—how are we

doing? This
morning, the part
of god

will be performed
by
that starling—

iridescent, gold-
flecked,
under the cognac-

yellow spotlight
of sun
that's been tenderly shaving

down last night's
stubble of
show showers—watch him

flutter
down now, to begin
our production

from first-position—on top
of the back-
alley line transformer

to peck a bit
at a glistening
peach pit in the wet gutter.
