Marek Kulig
Feathers for the leaves
The tops of the trees
unlike the talons of Kanagawa
hardly contrast as they headbang
to the distortion of the wind.
An undershirt blows off of a clothesline.
All's left are the wooden birds of laundry.
A relieving pinch on the wings
and their clasp's unfastened.
Beats a clipping.
