"I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after." *
Some mornings
even the coffee cup
refuses to sit up straight.

ha! I knew it was Wallace Stevens. Just lovely, all of it.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm not supposed to, because they are an introduced bird and threaten the survival of our native birds, but I love the call of the blackbirds as the sun goes down.
