lyrics

Flicker

For I have seen
the red-shafted flicker fly straight
into my heart, variegated breast and wing

aflame in autumn liquidamber;

and I have seen a cacophony
of magpies, garrulous, gregarious
bands of these tricksters together

with curious corroborees of flickers
sticking their heads in the grass:

most unflickerlike, the shy woodpecker
here cavorting on the lawn with a party

of flamboyantly attired black white and turqoise-
tailed magpies.

All perhaps heat and humidity
dazed in this last gasp of summer;

seeking the pungent protein
of the leaf-footed pine bug

that usually flourishes late summer
but this year

has magpies and flickers
dancing crazy
in their own abundance
