A mockingbird's moved in
to the upstairs apartment
a sublet in an orange tree
with a nearby bath kept
replenished every night
by a marvelous old man
every day he returns
loosening the walls
with crowbars of song
you'd be surprised
how everything collapses
then it's all carefully
rebuilt just a few
notes endlessly
repeated endlessly
pursued.
