David Kowalczyk - Stealing The Sky

Neon robin plucking a banjo
while wearing a porkpie hat.
Suicidal dove gasping for air
and wondering why.
Starling enveloped in ice
in the middle of July.
Smug sparrow named Simon
with bespectacled dreams of patricide.
Vulture fat as two swine
screaming with the agony
of promises unfulfilled.
