“Le Tchoc Chante” (The Blackbird Sings)
December 17, 2008
Le Tchoc sings
Of Many Things
The Blackbird Tawks1
Over Hovering Hawks
Overhead
The Blackbird Chants
Of Endless Rants
Of a Bitter Breeze that Blows
In Shady-Natured Crows
Who Bestows
On us The Shows
Of the Loathes
Of their Lows
Of their existence
The Blackbird hums hyms
Perched on the Cypress Limbs
Le Tchoc2
Sits upon a rock
And Tawks
Over Everything
