A couple of clothespins later
another creak
the cat looks up
in heat: a sunbather looks down
in between the leafy branches
where the sparrow turns and spies its mate.
And it's these sparrows
who repeat all our thoughts
in their infernal dialogues
their gossip not meant for us
watching rainbuckets mirror
the stately Versailles.
Published in Bite, volume 1, number 4;
Vancouver, 1988.
