to kill
the mocking
(bird)
in your head,
you’ve got to
first stone
her song, that
strange un
-quiet longing
for redundant
dread.
{careful, she’ll
try to hide in tree,
on rooftop}
and if she comes
back to clack
and c(l)aw
…………at you
again,
just look that
sucker right in
the eye and say
…………boo.

Drivin’ 55 for Toads.
I’m so glad I know how to read between your lines. 🙂
I love how the last line delivers one last TKAM reference!
Brilliant, with all its meanings.
Super clever. I love that last boo, especially. k.
Earworms with prejudice are double trouble brewing. Nicely written in a fun read for a serious problem.
