bird by bird
word by word, first draft
worse by worser, confidence flies away.
bird by bird,
seed by seed,
watching them drop to a squirrel
who will catch these words,
bird by bird, who will gather them and reform them
word by word
into second draft, and third, line by line.
she said it's torture, but made it funny,
how many words by words,
birds by birds did she shoot down with
the gun at her side, in that quiet countryside
before she said these words
bird by bird
word by word.
