The poems are liars. They will say and do anything, promise you anything, to make you feel exactly what I feel. But the feelings at least are real.

Beaks

Who, upon seeing a beak
for the first time could guess
the sleek long stream of effluence
the feathers and wings
who could guess the shape of things
to come from just that one
beginning?
