The mockingbird


The mockingbird
Never seems
To land shy
Of anxious declaration
Looping

His flight
Of babble
Has nested deep
In my lizard brain
Somewhere between
Genus and species
And other taxidermied
Classifications
Of mine

This white and grey
Feathered climate
Permits a stay
Of eviction
But no perches
On locatable rest
