The Marbled Godwit
Bowerbirds

Great white puffs of lumbering buffalonBlanket the fishbowl sky, and I am tired.nI sip my tea and sniff the ocean.nNot but an hour from now, I will be home.nSwing me low, mark me a coward.nThe whims of the West must die.nHere is the resting ground.nhere is my smile, my pink little toes.nn(Bound to your oil machines)nDeath to the civilized.n(Hoarding the land and sea)nDeath to the civilized.n(Stolen through violent means)nDeath when all want masquerades as need.nnThe marbled godwit line the coast.nI grasp for my straw cap;nI'm lashed to my brave little raft.nThe waves do toss this worthy vessel,nImpress on my tiny brainnThis strange and dangerous beauty.nI feel it's scale,nI feel its industry.,nMaking a flea of usnAnd dusting us offnAnd talks in a hush,nA little disappointed.nn(Bound to your oil machines)nDeath to the civilized.n(Hoarding the land and sea)nDeath to the civilized.n(Stolen through violent means)nDeath when all want masquerades as need.
