lost bird's whistle. bird's lost whistle.
lost bird-whistle. whistle bird lost.
bird lost bird. lost whistle lost.
thistle word cost. thistle whistle bird.
whistle thistle word. bird word lost.
whistle lost bird. lost bird's whistle.

a bird's lost
whistle calls
& echoes
because
it is not a duck.

3

a lost bird's
sad whistle
echoes
an aching call
heard by trees
& lichen-covered ears.

[Lightning Rod]

lose the last two verses, bum
first one says it all and in a beautifully enigmatic way

[judih]

ah, that thistles would whistle once more
i duck when i hear a sad bird

[Nazz]

U write music.

lr- i initially thought to give each a numeral. as you can see in minor edit. but i've yet to decide the order. or is there more? i'm not in with less just yet. thank you for reading and saying.

judih- birds bristle at a thistle comb.
thanks.

nazz- thank ye sire. let's see what i can do with some sound.

i like "3" but i feel like i'm missing something when i read the rest.

bennie-

thanks for reading.

i feel like 1 resembles the fool's thinkings in 'the sound & the fury'. a gibbering spiraling ditty.

number 2- alas, is a joke about a myth. in these days of the internet it has been long purported that the quack of a duck dost not echo. that makes me laugh.

as to 3- i'm into lichens. thanks again.
