in followed hour
***
drum sticks
in shanty towns,
cup-shaped
caverns
holding
windsongs
large handsbatting
tethered
security
cameras pennies
cracking
the bottom
of a long jar, poverty
beating
between
the bars
boiled
in
night, hidden
means
of a pursued
music
some endangered
runaway's
copied
photo
on a paper door feather
from a dying
canary
pressed
like a bookmark
between
unread mail
on the floor of a room
where no one
has yet
arrived, where
late
these watchers
exaggerate
the wind, pin
kites
to
birds.
