The Knot

Gordian gold, beguiled, unfolds.

An empty birdhouse
Grasps the grazing staircase
For want of raptors-wingless
To fuel nuclear fall, too-hard,
A carved-out gourd in an acorn shard
Left by an anxious, breastless tit-mouse:
Churning, surging, squeak or call,
Cawing, caved-in, member card
To community without third-place,
To greening field, remaining restless,
To feeling like there’s no tomorrow,
A meaning glimpsed from a discuss:
Throw-out your pots and panacea.

Returning, now, to the path by which
My friend and I pass the bird’s house,
In leavened sigh,  I pay no mind,  I played around
with anxious twine.          Connecting knots,
disparate thoughts,                           as sparrow
building nest in-kind.
