Landscape with Yellows

 

yellows heatwaves
mewling catbirds
cardinal's whatsup
thrum of beast-
depressed branch
blackbird¹s shrill
sun-saturated daze

do presidents know
such frogpluck, such
whinnying ducks
and creaks of geese
pumped with bulls
nights not cooler, know
such golden moons
and common tassels
grazed with late rain

and pierced with low
flying blackbirds
