aviary
by Jeffrey Dreiblatt

     
    this poem 
    satisfied to sit amidst
    the chilly fetid cage
    a wounded pigeon
    
    satisfied to sit amidst
    the black pepper present
    a wounded pigeon
    listens for internal rhyme
    
    the black pepper present
    target of group concentration
    listens for internal rhyme
    a towel swan
    
    target of group concentration
    rattled by three years drought
    a towel swan
    this poem
