Tree with a Bird in it — Oiseaurie by Amy Lowell

OISEAURIE

Glunk!

I toss my heels up to my head ...

That was a bird I heard say glunk As I walked statelily through my extensive, expensive English country estate In a pink brocade with silver buttons, a purple passementerie cut with panniers, a train, and faced with watered silk: But it Is dead now!

(The bird) Probably putrescent And green....

I scrabble my toes ...

Glunk!
