Skylarks

The acidic landscape
is made alkali by these little birds.

See how they charge
the batteries of the land
with every note of their song,

hiding their engineering
in nests among ant hills
disguised as neolithic burial mounds.

See their lightning bolt crest –
how everything is drawn to its voltage,
how everything longs to glow like them.
