To Witness a Thing
(Introduction)
I’m already laughing 
at myself, with all this 
poetry is business…
------------------------
Poetry is a
the witness.

The winter
of a thing. 

Poetry is 
clearly not 
the summer 
of a thing. 

All sunny bright
lacking in moodiness
and darkened clouds

as

the last 
remaining 
hungry
robin 
looks
for 
it’s last 
meal to feed
the last
of her kind,
hopping
from emptied
berry bush
to emptied
berry bush 
as the solemn 
PBS voiced
narrator
dips 
his brush 
into his 
sad 
self satisfying 
oratory voice over
where
nothing ends well.
.
.
.
Or does it.
