Catawba

from Breaking the Bird's Beak Hymen


 
 
                  Every night
 
                                a pooling of blood
 
         or exsanguinated
                                     
      the spilt seed


 
 
                         by morning
 
       how clean            the sparrow
 
 
                   divine its feathers
 
 
 
 
               a child
