Yellow Warbler
Dendroica petechia

 

sweet sweet sweet
          lemony
          sweet

that’s just right
          what do you
          mean

his wet whistle
          swoons to
          me

how he’ll wish
          you all were
          still

in Costa Rican
          hills you’d
          sing

what you you’re
          looking at
          me

sizzling see
          saw it calls
          you

back—from high
          thoughts in the
          trees

tiger swings
          by storm bro-
          cade

pulse recedes
          while wind just
          blows

little a-
          beyances
          and

returns to pulse
