Hedge the rows
where the birdnote
grows,
lark a tune
‘neath the fiddlehead
moon,
tip the wine glass,
burn the firegrass,
bellow and croak
at the midnight
stroke,
thatch the stormroof,
squall and rainproofed—
and all the other
rhymes and metaphors
it takes to build and
protect
something worth
something.
