Everything is more these days
thank god the sky is staying
blue
now perforated
by baby jays learning how
to jay the world
a cacophony of birds
a shadow
in the underbrush
apostrophated
bark
towhee nuthatch
I don’t miss much
and there are starlings
gone to rob a nest
everything is more
these days
the less
is so much
less
OPTIONAL POETRY

Hmm, this is lovely. The choppy perforation of the lines is perfect, the inclusion of the word itself a clue – and indeed the other grammatical hints (eg. apostrophe). I particularly admire the ending, it’s like someone haphazardly tripping down steps, a few at a time.
