All’s well that ends the
whatnesses of
the cosmos, the
fierce dos (although you can still say
your don’ts, feeling
for the sunny parts
of the story) of
them hawks &
eagles, them
parrots, all
mutual birds with
densely speckled
alphabets &
the beauty over which
we vote

Oh, &
filaments of
warmbloodedness
