4 WAYS OF DANCING AROUND A BLACKBIRD

Was the eye of the blackbird.
I do not know which to prefer,
It was snowing
Even the bawds of euphony
The shadow of his equipage
The beauty of inflections
A man and a woman and a blackbird.

3 WAYS OF STARING AT A BLACKBIRD

Even the bawds of euphony
I do not know which to prefer,
Icicles filled the long window
Or just after.
Why do you imagine golden birds?
