Reception (Day 641)

we can leave all that heavy botany to the minors

in a few years’ time I’ll symbolize an extravagant 

woman whose starry love veil features hundreds 
of millinery details I suppose one could feel better 

in Europe but he you had no idea how to start the 

aircraft was seen taking off at her most feminine

a canary who followed this fashion-forward look 

mellowed on an ungent noontide limbus we birds 

of the local variety I cannot change how vast how 

wide our hive is fortunately warming now I face 

the possibility in a progression that goes roughly

like a Bohemian wedding veils adorned love with 
a variety of chromatic birds they claim were only 

owned by the rich who you harness spirit of place 

for each sight heaven let us die of loneliness try 
to find a tune you won’t regret will want to use
