Crane / Crane

C. J. Sage

California. USA

Urgent bird, mathematical machine, you copulate

the hill and go in seconds over her head.

Nest builder, stick tosser, bog dweller, bog culler, your beak is a plier;

your head is all jaw.

There was once a leg and a brace whose parts collided. The two

may never square again.

River sleeper, sky climber, wiry crier, erect opponent,

raiser & razer, wild walk-and-wielder, your tract demands you

homonym, namesake, antonym, kin.
