blackbird dream

What happens to a poem
deferred

First they flirt
wordplay, then
urgent, feet
fistbeat: speak!

Minute by this minute
real life preferred: mama
nurses wipes noses
Watches words
startle brightwinged
scarlet flirt of black birds

Does it explode

beating and cawing
unheard (inaudible)
Wheel away into bright
unwritable
blue
